Twitter accidentally reveals search integration?
We've assumed that Twitter would be integrating Twitter Search (formerly Summize) into the main site for a while now. It seems that Twitter has accidentally confirmed this integration. A topic on Get Satisfaction, talking about new behavior for nudges, shows a screenshot of a newer version of the site, featuring Twitter Search. According to this shot, Twitter will implement keyword search via a box on the right side of the page. There is no word yet on when this update will go live.
Update
Biz Stone, from Twitter, tells us that the screenshot comes from an admin account where they try different things out from time to time. Even though he doesn't give a timeframe for the update, Biz says that, "...we'll definitely be integrating the search.twitter.com goodness into Twitter proper soon."

Probably a screen grab of someone using it on a Mac. Also, didn't Twitter ALWAYS have a Nudge function? I never really used it but I'm 99.9% sure it was there before the redesign. Maybe someone scripted it back in. Not that I've looked because Twitter killed SMS in the UK ¬_¬

(5 Comments)It will be nice when search is integrated within Twitter.
I use Twhirl and FriendFeed.
Get Satisfaction is a great way to communicate with your customers and they with you, so nice that they are also brought into this conversation.
