Twitter slams Google for search changes

Twitter slammed Google in a statement after the search giant announced it would begin highlighting its own social networking content in search results.

"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," Twitter said. "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," the company said.
