Google just doesn't get China. It never did. It entered the Chinese market in 2006 with a censored search engine. Doing so it angered many human rights activists by bowing to pressure from the Chinese government to censor sites and searches at the whim of the ruling Communist party. So much for the Google motto 'Do No Evil'. Apparently, Do No Evil does not extend to supporting access to information without it being censored.

Twitter has signed deals with both Google and Microsoft to allow it's tweets to be searched in real time. The deals are good news for the micro-blogging site, earning the first of much badly needed revenue.
