Yahoo is all set to reinvent itself and compete with search engine giant, Google. It has recently struck a deal with micro-blogging site, Twitter with Facebook, the popular social networking site already in its side.

Yahoo wants to cash on the success of Twitter that boasts of 50 million tweets every day.

In view of this partnership, Yahoo users will be able to see the tweets posted by the Twitter users and post their own messages on Yahoo itself. This means that users can now surf the website and keep themselves updated and connected with people simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Google's new; Buzz did not take off the way it was expected. People feel it's an imitation of Google's existing Orkut which has lost many users switching to safer and private social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook and Twitter are looked upon as threats to advertising revenue of Yahoo and Google since their business largely depends on selling online ads to large viewers.

After joining hands with Facebook in January, Yahoo became the second most visited website in the U. S. with around 164 million U. S. visitors.

Yahoo has remained silent on the cost of the deal with Twitter. But with the amount of Twitter users increasing day by day, it seems Yahoo will not be in loss.

Meanwhile, Microsoft and Google have paid a total of $25 million to include Twitter data in their search results.

It is seen that Twitter is not only popular with the common man but also a rage with world renowned celebrities. Some celebs have huge fan following on Twitter. The stars find this a good way to stay connected with their faithful audiences.

Twitter boasts of about 27 million users. Users send short messages to their friends and loved ones and also discuss other relevant information. People also like to share their opinion on current topics on their favorite Twitter.

Twitter's founders are proud of its achievements and the deals it has in its kitty and look forward to do even better in future.

It seems Twitter is here to stay, so it is expected that it might help Yahoo regain its name in the search industry.
