Google had lastly integrated MySpace updates from public pages into its real-time search feature, which was launched back in December at the Google Search Event in Mountain View, California. Google had initially announced that public updates from both MySpace and Facebook would be integrated into the service. Though up until now, Facebook was nowhere to be seen.
With that said, Google had announced in a tweet [pictured above] that status updates from public Facebook Pages are now part of real-time search results. Most Facebook Pages are for celebrities, events, brands, politicians, etc. and there are only about 3 million of them. That means that Google will not be utilizing public updates from the more than 400 million Facebook users.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Facebook is not charging either Google or Bing for using the position updates from its Facebook users and pages, unlike Twitter, which supposedly is making a little cash from partnerships with all the major search engines.
An example of a screenshot of the updates from Facebook Pages on Google Real-Time Search results below.
