4 Minute Roundup: Twitter’s Real-Time Search Deals; Bloomberg Rising

Here’s the latest 4MR audio report from MediaShift. In this week’s edition, I look at the deals Microsoft made recently with Twitter and Facebook to incorporate tweets and status updates into its Bing search engine. Google quickly announced a deal with Twitter too, but why should we care? Also, Bloomberg bought out BusinessWeek magazine, but the jewel might well be BusinessWeek.com. And I ask Just One Question to Chris O’Brien of the San Jose Mercury News to get his take on the Twitter deals with Microsoft and Google.
