Tuesday (19/05/2015), Twitter officially introduced a new
feature which’s the result of their cooperation with Google. Google will now
display the relevant latest tweets when you do a search through the Google
Search app on iOS or Android, as well as in the smartphone browser.
The real-time content that's coming from Twitter will be
presented in the form of a special card that can be scrolled horizontally. So
for example when you are typing 'Taylor Swift' in the search field, then the
Google Search app will display the latest collection of tweets coming from the
official account of the singer.
Another example, when typing the keyword 'NASA Twitter', the
Google Search app not only displays a link to NASA's official Twitter account,
but also a collection of the latest tweets. When you tap one of the tweets, you
will be transferred to Twitter application to do further interaction, with note
that the app has been installed on your smartphone.
The 'marriage' between Twitter and Google Search also
includes the hashtag as well as a number of popular keywords. When typing the
title of a movie, for example, Google Search will display a collection of
tweets from various accounts that are discussing the film.
For now, the integration of Twitter content in Google Search is only available for users who live in the United States. In the next few
months, Twitter and Google promise to bring the same feature to users in other
countries, while the application of the same feature on the desktop browser is
scheduled to arrive in the near future.
