Twitter has complained about changes made by Google to integrate its social network Google+ into search results. The new feature, called Search plus Your World, will automatically push results from Google+ up the search rankings. Tweeting on the news, Twitter’s lawyer Alex Macgillivray described it as a “bad day for the internet”.
Google is determined to push its social network in the face of continued rivalry with Facebook.The current changes were about even greater personalisation, it said. It already includes personal search history in its search algorithms.
