Google has partnered Twitter to display tweets in search result on mobile and desktop. The new feature will become available on the English version of Google.com, the Android and iOS versions of Google’s search app, and on mobile browsers.

The move will allow Google to get more real-time results in its search queries, and help Twitter boost engagement after a period of sluggish user growth which has weighed on its stock price.


The deal will start with search results within the Google app and mobile Web, with a desktop version coming, said Messerschmidt, adding that the feature is due to reach more countries "in the coming months."

Now when you search for a person, hashtag, or popular topic of discussion, you’ll find related tweets on your results page. Like all other results, the position of the Twitter results on the page will be determined by their relevance to your search terms. This is not the first go-round between Google and Twitter. The two companies formed similar agreements in 2009, but let the deal lapse in 2011 as Google was ramping up its efforts with Google+.

"We should accept that there is no way to change someone’s fetishes. I am helping people express their desires, legally and ethically. It’s not worth living if you have to live with repressed desire." Takagi said his dolls save children from sexual abuse, and his clients - mostly men living alone - write and thank him for that service.   "I often receive ...
