The internet portal Yahoo and the social networking site Twitter have agreed to share their contents. The deal has been finalized and now users can access their Twitter feeds, update their Twitter status and share their contents on Yahoo’s sites. At the same time, Yahoo search will include the Twitter updates.
Experts believe that this move is going to a big catch for Yahoo. Yahoo was very much interested in the deal as it desperately wants to catch the web surfers, who are apparently spending more time on social networking sites like Orkut, Facebook, and Twitter etc. The search engine giant is now very animated on to take a social approach of its web. In December it had also a similar agreement with Facebook to share each other’s status.
According to Yahoo officials, social networking site like Facebook and Twitter have become trends in cyber arena now. They are the most influencing forces to drive and direct the online traffic. So the basic objective of this deal is to be in touch with people as well as information at one place.
