Follow the search Engines (on Twitter)Twitter is more and more becoming a channel on which companies can get in touch with their (potential) users. If you're interested in searchengines there are a lot of twitterers you can follow to get news from the industry. But what are the search engines doing on Twitter themselves? It's about time for an overview.  The major search engines New and vertical search engines  Channels A trend is that the search engines set up different account for different channels. One for Google Images, one for GoogleWebmaster etcetera. Google and Yahoo are very active with that: Google: http://twitter.com/googleimages http://twitter.com/googlereader http://twitter.com/googlefinance http://twitter.com/ChromeBrowser http://twitter.com/googleapps http://twitter.com/GoogleWebmaster http://twitter.com/InsideGoogle http://twitter.com/google_apps Yahoo http://twitter.com/yahoomovies http://twitter.com/yahoo_sports http://twitter.com/yahoo_directory http://twitter.com/YahooResearch http://twitter.com/YahooGeo http://twitter.com/yahoonews_odd http://twitter.com/YahooBuzz http://twitter.com/yahoofood http://twitter.com/YahooNoticias http://twitter.com/YahooDeportes http://twitter.com/yahoofinance http://twitter.com/yahoo_music http://twitter.com/yahoosearch (0 updates!) Other search engines with different channels are: Mahalo Wikipedia Microsoft: http://twitter.com/adCenterRep http://twitter.com/windowslive http://twitter.com/LiveEarth Unofficial When a company is 'hot', everybody wants to take a part in it. Therefore you can find a lot of 'unofficial' twitteraccounts who make use of the name and content of the search engines. An extract of those: Yahoo: http://twitter.com/yahoosearchdata http://twitter.com/YSearchFE http://twitter.com/YahooUKEditor Google: http://twitter.com/GoogleWatchB (German) http://twitter.com/google_blog http://twitter.com/aboutgoogle (new) http://twitter.com/GoogleGadget (not used since 2007) Claimed / not or hardly used Some search engines, like Mahalo for example, are present at all on Twitter but couldn't 'grab' the default Twittername because someone already claimed the name before they did. So don't get fooled by these: http://twitter.com/baidu (Chinese girl) http://twitter.com/microsoft (0 updates, look at the @gmail e-mailadress) http://twitter.com/searchme http://twitter.com/inktomi (person from Beijing) http://twitter.com/flickr http://twitter.com/mahalo (someone from Tokyo) http://twitter.com/info Not existing There are still a couple of names 'for grab' with search engines who are (still) working but not on Twitter: http://twitter.com/yandex http://twitter.com/altavista Off course, people from the search engines are present online, but It was quite surprising to see that only a few (Yahoo, Google, Mahalo and Searchme) are making full use of Twitter.
