Absolutely what publishers would love: massive publicity and page impressions from it, so, I wouldn't be surprise to find Google Adsense somewhere on Twitter page/gadgets once it has the control over Twitter. The networking created from Twitter is superb, the real time search and communication is a big plus for business and staying in touch. Let's hope no big changes on Twitter, but somebody really has to do something with the occasional technical errors in it.

Twitter is used for blogging hence people searching for blogs. It is like searching for televisions on a supermarket website compared to searching for televisions on an electrical website. Plus what are the figures for googles overall searches? I do not see this affecting the future of searching. This is pointless. Twitter is used for blogging hence people searching for blogs.
