Google unleashed Real-Time Search and Tweets, including real-time information. While Twitter was at its infancy and inexperience, Google seized the moment by implementing its new Instant Information feature. The relationship was destined to last. The company has since bought Twitter and has begun to use its data and developer platform to further its search engine algorithm.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Google_bought_Twitters_developer_platform\"><\/span>Why Google bought Twitter&#8217;s developer platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason why Google bought Twitter&#8217;s developer platform is largely down to its acquisition of Fabric, a mobile development platform. Fabric was launched in 2014 and has since grown to serve more than 2.5 billion active mobile users. Developers can use Fabric to improve their apps with modular SDKs, distribution assistance, and analytics. The Fabric team will be working with Google to integrate these technologies into Firebase. This acquisition will help Twitter developers better serve the needs of the developer community.<\/p>\n<p>Fabric is a developer platform that was launched by the social media giant in 2014. The company has grown its user base to over 580,000 developers and powers apps on more than 2.5 billion mobile devices. As part of the acquisition, Google will continue to support the Fabric platform and its associated products, such as Crashlytics, Answers, and Digits. The acquisition will not impact users&#8217; ability to use the Fabric platform, but will result in better performance and improved UI for developers.<\/p>\n<p>As Twitter&#8217;s MAU and profitability continue to stagnate, it has been difficult for potential suitors to buy the company outright. Potential suitors don&#8217;t want to inherit Twitter&#8217;s ongoing issues, such as trolls and bullies who post illicit content. Other potential suitors want to avoid inheriting Twitter&#8217;s problems, including illicit posts and fake accounts. Furthermore, Twitter is eager to sell off its non-core businesses, such as its developer platform and the Data Licensing business. Data Licensing revenue has grown by 26 percent per year, but the company is now seeking a buyer for the platform and the developers who use it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_it_bought_Twitters_data_platform\"><\/span>Why it bought Twitter&#8217;s data platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter is leveraging the Google Cloud Platform to transform the trillions of events it receives and processes into actionable items. It runs tens of thousands of jobs on more than a dozen clusters daily. Why Google bought Twitter&#8217;s data platform is unclear, but the partnership highlights the importance of Google&#8217;s Data Cloud. The service offers features such as BigQuery, Dataflow, and Cloud Bigtable, which allow Twitter to use machine learning to make better decisions based on its vast data.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter&#8217;s developer tools will remain free, some developers will miss out on the platform. Developers will be left without support for the app development tool, which is a critical component to the Twitter platform. As a result, Twitter has lost much of its ability to build an ecosystem around its APIs. Last year, Twitter cancelled its annual Flight developer conference, citing a lack of interest in its products. Google will not buy Twitter, but it is expected to make this acquisition a priority for the company.<\/p>\n<p>The company has a 95 percent brand awareness score across global markets. Yet it has reached less than 30 percent of its potential users. Moreover, the company is undergoing turmoil at the executive level. There is uncertainty about leadership. This is a bad sign for the company, which may never see things through. If Twitter is willing to sell its data platform, it could spin off its data licensing business and generate fresh cash.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_it_uses_that_data_to_improve_its_search_engine_algorithm\"><\/span>How it uses that data to improve its search engine algorithm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of Google&#8217;s recent deal with Twitter. But do you know how Google uses this data to improve its search engine algorithm? Read on to learn more. The search engine giant has been able to make Twitter&#8217;s data accessible to its users by crawling it like other web pages. Depending on the user, these data can help improve Google&#8217;s search algorithm. It&#8217;s hard to imagine how Twitter could help improve the algorithm without Google&#8217;s help.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, this partnership allows Google to return more real-time social media content in search results. And this will boost Twitter&#8217;s revenue and traffic. Twitter&#8217;s Instant Timeline feature automates account customization by checking different categories. It also makes Twitter more social. This makes it easier for users to use the site. But it&#8217;s not only Twitter that benefits from this partnership. The company has other reasons, too.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"492\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Eq-FpOwGKTE\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Google Have a Twitter?
