Twitter and Google have reportedly struck a deal that means your tweets will now be searchable on Google,
Bloomberg claims the deal will see tweets become visible in search results instantaneously and mimics a similar arrangement between the two companies active between 2009 and 2011. The new program will start in the first half of 2015.
The deal will result in a higher number of non-Twitter users seeing tweets, therefore generating more ad revenue.
However, one of the sources claimed that there’s no advertising revenue agreement directly involved with the deal. Instead, Twitter will receive data-licensing revenue.
This week also saw Twitter announce deals with Flipboard, the social news app, and with Yahoo Japan.
