MySpace and Facebook sign real-time search deals with Google
MySpace and Facebook have both signed deals with Google to allow publicly available status updates to be indexed in real-time by the search giant.
Up till now Google had only signed a similar deal with Twitter and was missing agreements with Facebook and MySpace.
These partnerships have now been formalised and are understood to be going live on Google across all English language domains (both .com and .co.uk) “over the coming days” according to a Google spokesperson.
This means that when somebody searches for a particular topic on Google they will receive real-time updates from a variety of social media sites, as well as the usual list of search results.
