Twitter Vs. Google
Here's the dirt on how these objects relate to one another:
Twitter is disruptively innovative to Google and to web search in general: with Twitter came the concept of real time search, which Google is still struggling to perfect. Being the king of realtime, Twitter is the first website to establish and maintain foothold in a technology which really has a nontrivial chance of revolutionizing how we search for information. (Other websites, like YouTube, had this chance, but Google bought them all up.)
