They’re selling access to their stream of Tweets to Bing and Google. Bing announced it first and even has a test version of Bing Twitter — Now *that’s* a catchy name! — available for us to play with.

About 3 hours later, Google said “Me, too!” However, we’ll have to wait to see how the Big G will integrate Tweets into search.

One more thing: Facebook also signed a deal with Bing to provide access to public updates from Facebook users, but it didn’t seem to register much with the blogosphere. And no wonder — how many people make their Facebook updates public?

One more thing, one more time. Google’s Marissa Mayer also announced an upcoming “Social Search” service. Does the world need another social search service? I don’t think so.
