We thought it would be great if people and organizations were more open with what they're reading - so we created our own company newsroom to share what our team is Amplifying.

Twitter to make search more prominent

Very interesting for a couple of reasons. First, is definitely be a key part of our roadmap, so seeing Twitter prove the value of the real-time search concept is important for us.  Second, it shows once again the value of doing 1 thing and doing it great…and then growing beyond that 1 thing after you have begun to reach critical mass.

Twitter is starting to test ways to put its real-time search front and center. It is just bucket-testing the change right now with a few randomly selected users, so you might not see it. But you should expect it to be rolled out to everybody eventually. The search and trend features, which currently exist on a separate page, are being placed on the home page of the test accounts.
