Facebook is to become the latest source of news to be used by Google.
Google’s Real Time Search results have expanded their sources once again, and will now incorporate updates from Facebook Fan Pages. This new source comes hot on the heels of MySpace and Google Buzz, both of which were added earlier this month. The full list of sources that Google Real Time Search draws from is as follows:
- Twitter tweets
- Google News links
- Google Blog Search links
- Newly created web pages
- Freshly updated web pages
- FriendFeed updates
- Jaiku updates
- Identi.ca updates
- TwitArmy updates
- Google Buzz posts
- MySpace updates
- Facebook fan page updates
This will surely come as a welcome development to those companies who have discovered the benefits that a presence on social networking websites can have for their search results.
