Will Google index Tweets?

Twitter ‘the target of Google search’, The Sunday Times (Apr 5)

Maybe a takeover isn't in the cards, but Google does want a real-time feed of Twitter updates. Hmm - I'm not certain I want Tweets in search results.

Of interest:

"Twitter now has more than 6m users posting updates each month. Users post their opinions to friends and followers on anything from politics to the weather.

The searchable information is a gold mine for marketeers, but Twitter, while well funded, has so far not disclosed how it intends to make a profit. "
