View Twitter Search Results Along With Google Results in FireFox

I guess I didn’t think this was “big news” and should have posted this tip earlier.

Mashable shared that Bing is going to show Twitter results along with regular search results in your browser. The problem is they’re currently being choosy about which Twitterers merit indexing; currently it's only the big Twitter accounts/users. Works well if you’re wanting only information from “celeb tweeters,” but not if you’re really searching for information.

So, check it: I've been viewing search results for all applicable Tweets in FireFox for some time now. Here's what I see when I Google this great Internet programming, design and marketing firm I know about *insert gratuitous plug here*:

*infomercial time* And, here's how you can get this wonderful feature, too!

1. You must be running FireFox as your web browser. Download FireFox here.

2. Grab yourself a little Greasemonkey. Add Greasemonkey here.
2.1. Restart FireFox.

3. Get geeky on Userscripts.org. Click the "install" button here.

4. Restart FireFox and make sure you are running Google as your default search engine.

How cool do you feel now?
