Yesterday, Alexander Macgillivray, Twitter’s general counsel, wasted little time in speaking out against Google+ being fully baked into Google Search — even before Twitter officially did on the record. Today he’s elaborating a bit. Why doesn’t the ex-Google employee like Search+? This is why:

Yep, that is total bullshit. Especially since Google could easily surface and showcase the Twitter profile for WWE. They’re choosing not to. This has nothing to do with a data deal blocking their access. They have access to that information. It’s in their index right now.

Serious, simple question for Google: what do you think a user is searching for when they search for “@wwe”?

You know, I know, we all know. So why aren’t you showing it?
