Online services are collaborating on content and searches and I find it inspiring to see how technology can ease the ability to find information and share knowledge. With the real-time search and breaking boundaries between online services, people are in a way brought closer together and it is much easier to find out what other people are saying and feeling about a given topic.
One of the new partnerships is between Twitter and Yahoo. We have previously predicted a great year of 2010 for Twitter and I guess, this is just a part of it. Last year, Twitter also sealed deals with Google and Bing, who featured Twitter updates in their search.
The new integration will include a Twitter feed in several Yahoo services and the ability to update your Twitter status from within Yahoo. Yahoo is already collaborating with Facebook.
And we can’t really escape Facebook, which now has more than 400 million users. Now Google will feature public Facebook Page updates in their real-time search as well. This means that information within a rather closed community will be opened up and be publicly accessible. For businesses and brands who run a Facebook Page this is a positive development as the knowledge and dialogue that is created with your fans now also can reach a wider audience and possibly attract even more people to the business.
