Microsoft unveils Bing Twitter search today and Google's hurried response is a blog post about how they've "reached an agreement" to include tweets in their search results. Ouch.

>> "scrambling to keep up with them these days." huh? Both announced they were going to use twitter data :/ It all depends who presents that information in a useful way - my money is on google reading their blog post. I hardly think google are 'scrambling to keep up with them'.
You're right that it still remains to be seen who puts the data to better use in the long term, though.

Agreed. This looks like an embarrassingly reactive move.
http://bing.com/twitter is pretty ugly, and seems to not be working currently.
