Well, it was probably only a matter of time that Twitter would pick a big time suitor. And Twitter couldn’t just pick one, so they decided to go with two.
Both Google and Bing will start indexing “tweets” from public Twitter profiles in their search results. To date, tweets were not indexed by either search engine. But given the micro-blogging site’s current popularity, it was time for Twitter to test the dating pool.
If you have been following Twitter’s rise of success (50 billion tweets and counting), what it gained in popularity it lacked in revenue generation. While Twitter has received millions in venture capital, it has not been able to monetize its business model. The current partnership with Bing and Google looks to be the start, even though Twitter’s CEO Evan Williams denies this as the driver.
So what does the future hold for these new partnerships? We will just have to wait until after dessert is served.

As kids start heading back to school, the Incredible Edible Egg is making sure they’re getting the nutritious breakfast they need for the intense days ahead. Something as simple as feeding kids an affordable, high-quality protein breakfast like eggs can help them stay more focused in class. In fact, according to a recent survey by the American Egg Board, 52 percent of moms serve hard-cooked eggs for breakfast because of their ease and ability to provide the mind and body energy kids need to tackle the toughest days. However, the same survey quizzed moms and also found more than seven out of 10 don’t know how to properly prepare hard-cooked eggs.
Luckily Howard Helmer, eggspert and Guinness World Record holder for omelet-making, is bringing moms back-to-school for a lesson on hard-cooking to help guarantee kids have the high-quality protein breakfast they need to get through long school days.
Start the school year off right with an eggcellent breakfast! Click here to view more of the online PR kit.
