Yahoo to include Twitter feeds on its sites

10 Mar 2010

Yahoo and Twitter have reached an agreement to put Twitter feeds on various Yahoo sites, including the Yahoo home page as well as search, e-mail accounts, and Yahoo sites devoted to news, finance, sports and entertainment.

Terms of the deal were not announced.

Yahoo also will include Twitter content on its sites containing complementary information. For example, a Yahoo user reading a certain news item may also see Twitter updates on that news on the same page.

Both Google and Microsoft Corp's Bing have similar deals integrating Twitter feeds. Last December Yahoo announced a similar deal with Facebook, allowing Facebook users to send and view updates from Yahoo sites.
