Yahoo has joined with Twitter to make its search engine results more "real-time" in an agreement which sees the microblogging service become integrated across its complete product suite.
The partnership is alike to earlier deals Twitter has signed with Google and Microsoft's Bing.
Yahoo's search engine has previously started indexing tweets in a bid to make its service offer faster and more appropriate results - a move made by Google at the end of last year.
However, what is dissimilar to the previous deals is that Yahoo has effectively made itself a Twitter client, as Yahoo users will be able to tweet from multiple platforms across Yahoo's products.
It is unidentified how this will be carried out at this stage. There is an opportunity it could happen via widgets.
The partnership also allows Yahoo users to access their Twitter feed via the company's email service, its homepage and via its satisfied verticals - such as Yahoo Finance.
