Twitter Hates Google’s New Google+ Integration

- redthrowaway 15y agoThe update seems to be key: Update: Google just posted this response to its official Google+ Page: We are a bit surprised by Twitter’s comments about Search plus Your World, because they chose not to renew their agreement with us last summer (http://goo.gl/chKwi), and since then we have observed their rel=nofollow instructions. If that's the case, it's hard to see what Twitter's complaining about. They're telling Google not to index tweets. If they want in on the game, then play ball.
- nextparadigms 15y agoThe same goes for Facebook. It would be pretty hypocritical if Facebook came out and said the same thing, too. Facebook tried their best so Google doesn't get their data, without breaking the API's for anyone else. Eric Schmidt also says Twitter ended the deal: http://marketingland.com/schmidt-google-not-favored-happy-to-talk-twitter-facebook-integration-3151 http://marketingland.com/schmidt-google-not-favored-happy-to... Of course Apple pundits like Gruber and Siegler were quick to jump on Google over this.
