You might want to check out Surf Canyon (www.SurfCanyon.com). We’ve enabled users to add Twitter, OneRiot, Amazon and eBay results, as well as many others, to their Google searches. It also works with Yahoo! and Bing. After installing the application you can customize the experience at my.SurfCanyon.com. We’d love to hear your feedback.

The beauty of integrating twitter into Google search is that you just never know what you are going to find.

Which is why the first method is brilliant as it shows the twitter results on top of Google results everytime!

AAfter.com search combines Twitter results with normal organic results if you enter a question in the search box like ” who won the Superbowl today?”

Hey and Ann and Jaamit,

But why would you bother combining twitter and google? As you say they are completely different, so why do the exercise at all? Even Jaamit comments that most of the time the twitter results are irrelevant. It could possibly on benefit on the rare case where twitter is breaking some news and google isn’t.

I don’t think Google will be buying Twitter. I think Google is still trying leverage YouTube. I doubt they are that eager to purchase a Social Media website with a questionable revenue model. At least not until the economy turns around. It would be difficult to justify laying off workers and buying Twitter.

Perhaps you need to consider not only how to combine them, but also why.

No need to use any scripts whatsoever. I just use Yauba http://www.yauba.com, which is essentially Google + Twitter Search + Privacy + Anonymizing Proxy

Cheers for the tips, some good scripts to try out, have been trialing the greasemonkey one and working well so far, very impressed

I’ve been using the first greasemonkey script for a few weeks now and I’ve got to say it’s brilliant – the twitter results are often irrelevant to what you’re searching, but also easily ignored in those cases. But occasionally you get to peek at some really useful tweets and links that you wouldn’t otherwise see in a regular search.

Easy to see why google want to buy Twitter and how the two can integrate together! (The flipside of that will be adsense ads on twitter, which will be a huge cash cow for Google)
