Twitter Keeps Right On Responding To Search+

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:

Folks asked for examples. Here’s what a user searching for “@wwe” will be shown on the new @Google. twitter.com/amac/status/15…

— Alex Macgillivray (@amac) January 11, 2012

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?
