Do You Want Social Media Comments Included in Your Searches? – Mashable
Earlier this week, Google introduced a major change to its search 
called “Search plus Your World” that integrates Google+ comments into standard searches.
The announcement raised hackles among competitors, namely Twitter, which charged that the integration of G+ data distorts natural search results and is “bad for people.” Google, meanwhile, fired back that it was Twitter that chose not to continue integrating its data in Google searches.
While other Internet pundits have charged that Google’s move violates the spirit of competition and possibly the law, Farhad Manjoo at Slate has posited a more interesting argument. Forget about antitrust: Why includeany social media data — whether from Google+, Twitter or Facebook — into searches?
