With Google shifting its search results around, alarm bells have gone off over at Twitter. Twitter spokesman Matt Graves has released a statement explaining exactly what the company thinks is wrong with Google’s move:
“For years, people have relied on Google to deliver the most relevant results anytime they wanted to find something on the Internet.
“Often, they want to know more about world events and breaking news. Twitter has emerged as a vital source of this real-time information, with more than 100 million users sending 240 million Tweets every day on virtually every topic. As we’ve seen time and time again, news breaks first on Twitter; as a result, Twitter accounts and Tweets are often the most relevant results.
“We’re concerned that as a result of Google’s changes, finding this information will be much harder for everyone. We think that’s bad for people, publishers, news organizations and Twitter users.”
If you are not a Twitter user, you might have been unaware just how much new information breaks on the micro blogging site. Have you experienced a change in your search results since Google made its change? Do you like the change, or even notice it?
