Google and Bing announced landmark deals with Twitter today to include real-time results in their search engines.

First, Microsoft and Twitter reached an agreement to include Twitter search results in Microsoft’s Bing. The new site bing.com/twitter does not just sort Twitter search results chronologically but by relevancy as well, based on an algorithm that includes number of followers.

Hours later, it was announced by Mashable that Google and Twitter struck a deal to include real-time tweets in Google’s results.

Many Twitter users are excited about Bing’s new Twitter search engine and are pleased with some of the features.

1. 
   Fitz (Chicago, IL)Bing’s Twitter search includes “Top links shared in Tweets” based on whatever you search. I think that’s pretty sweet. #Bing #Twitter 21 Oct 2009 from web

   WillBrown (Washington D.C.) I think I actually like Microsoft Bing’s Twitter search engine. Especially the top URLs tweeted about the search term. 21 Oct 2009 from mobile web

   GustavoZengen (Porto Alegre, Brasil) O Bing tem um sistema que busca no Twitter agora?

 Some felt as though the Google deal was a blow to the Bing announcement, as Google remains the world’s most popular search engine. Here were some another initial thoughts from the Twitterverse when the Google deal was announced:
