VentureBeat reports Twitter has increased their traffic by 9 percent from December to January. After deeper insight from ComScore and Hitwise, it appears that most, if not all, came from Google.
When Google added real-time results to their search interface in December, it had a major impact on people discovering Tweets in the search results. Google will show real time results from Twitter and other sites based on if that is a trending (hot) query.

I’ve witnessed Google real time search recognize my Google buzzes. My guess is that Google-Buzz is better at attracting relevant Google-originated traffic than Twitter because Google-Buzz allows you to write with many more than just 140 characters. If you write an update with more words, the search engine has more material to assess what you are talking about. I buzzed my observations here: http://www.google.com/buzz/113714308152841400614/iptddz5hUs1/Search-Engine-Optimization-Google-Buzz-Page-Rank
I am interested to hear the observations of others. –Ben
