>> "scrambling to keep up with them these days."

huh? Both announced they were going to use twitter data :/

It all depends who presents that information in a useful way - my money is on google reading their blog post. I hardly think google are 'scrambling to keep up with them'.

You're right that it still remains to be seen who puts the data to better use in the long term, though.

FWIW that page looks absolutely horrible. I'd be ashamed if I had produced that. Being first to market is good, as long as the product doesn't make people recoil in horror.

>> "Twitter search results are currently unavailable."

Presumably it's not live yet, or else broken.

Same for me, wonder why that got you modded down.

First to market is worth something, if you actually have a product. If you're only first to market with an announcement and an empty page you make yourself look a little foolish to jump the gun like that.

I'm reasonably sure that when google announces their twitter search that it will at least work.

Time will tell though.
