Uh-oh, Big Doo-Doo

So Google paid Twitter for the ability to search through tweets. In return Microsoft paid Twitter and Facebook for access to search through their content. Why's this post entitled uh-oh, big doo-doo? Because, if you follow the logic of this post from Gizmodo, if Facebook and Twitter are asking for money to search their content, why shouldn't everyone else? This would include newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post, and I'm sure others as well in the future.

Are we going to have to search with ten different engines depending on what we're looking for in the future? Who knows.
