On: Twitter Confirms New Google Firehose Deal

I feel the complete opposite - I used to Google for specific tweets I remembered seeing and to help find tweets relating to current events. Google was much better about showing me the stuff I wanted to see than the actual Twitter site!

I'm really excited to have this back.

.. which is exactly why an opt-out would be a good solution. People can see what they want, and rbing in tweets when/if appropriate.

Worst case, I bet someone will make a chrome plugin to purge twitter results from search.
