Open letter to Google:
Dear Google,
Matt, Sergei, Eric, Larry . . . anyone over at Google – you gotta help. Today I saw this crap in your SERPs:
Twitter is a steaming cesspool of shit and I don’t give a rats ass about what the latest nitwit twitted or tweeted or whatever about anything I’m searching for.
I’m not alone.
Please add one of those Xs or some place in preferences that I can check to never see this shit again.
Sincerely,
Almost Everyone

So why is Google doing this? My guess:
Let’s forget for a second that more than 70% of twitter users are already bots. This shit in Google SERPs is a call to arms for spammers. If we can get mid SERP placement on incredibly high volume terms just by spamming twitter, well then I guess we’re just gonna have to step up our spamming efforts!
This is how Google is going to kill twitter: by giving all the blackhats and botrunners far too much incentive to spam the shit out of twitter for them to ignore.
When the signal to noise ratio drops too low, people will leave Twitter for Giggle: Google’s Reduced Spam Twitter Clone.
Don’t be evil: MY ASS.
