The search engines Google and Bing have both announced deals with the service Twitter. Queries to both search engines will soon include Twitter messages in the results.
This may have a positive impact on Bitmob as a whole by increasing the visibility of the site. However, individual users of Twitter should be aware that their messages will be made more public in the near future.
I sincerely hope that Twitter blocks protected profiles from search engine indexing. I also hope that Google provides some option to filter out Twitter results, because they would not be helpful to the types of searches I perform most often.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by the letter 'J' and the number '42.'
