Google adds a Twitter timeline to its search



Almost everything you've ever said on Twitter is about to be discoverable through Google.

Google announced plans on Tuesday to roll-out a timeline of archived Twitter messages organised by topic, allowing searchers to see when Twitter activity spiked with tweets related to their search query. When a user clicks on a particular day that contained a large number of tweets related to that topic, they'll be presented with a scrolling list of the individual tweets from that day.

It's similar to the timeline search feature that Google rolled out several years ago, only for tweets. Searchers will be able to start at "right now" at the far right-hand side of the timeline and scroll back through time by moving to the left.
