Google Gets On Twitter

Feb 26, 2009 at 9:36am ET by Barry Schwartz

If you are a Twitter addict like I am and you read this site, then you will be happy to know that Google has officially signed up to Twitter at http://twitter.com/google.

The first twit, captured in the image above, was in binary and translated into “Feeling Lucky.” You can expect this account to post announcements, similar to what is posted on the Google Blog, plus more, on a relatively frequent basis. Matt Cutts of Google confirmed this Googler on Twitter is a real Googler.

There are many Googlers on Twitter actually. I think someone should make a directory of Googlers on Twitter. I know of youtube, AdWordsProSarah, AdWordsHelper, mattcutts, johnmu, thatadamguy, brianwhite and I am sure there are many others I am missing.

Plus, many of us at Search Engine Land are on Twitter. Including myself at rustybrick, dannysullivan, gsterling, mattmcgee, vanessafox and elisabethos (I hope I didn’t miss anyone).

Barry Schwartz is Search Engine Land's News Editor and owns RustyBrick, a NY based web consulting firm. He also runs Search Engine Roundtable, a popular search blog on very advanced SEM topics. Barry's personal blog is named Cartoon Barry and he can be followed on Twitter here.
