Twitter: tweet today, gone tomorrow?

californiastemcellreport noted on 13 Oct 09:

When we Googled the terms “klein research america,” a reference to the award from “Research America” came up in the No. 5 position. But it linked to an item from Twitter (known as a Tweet) – not the announcements from Research America or CIRM. Neither showed up on the first four pages of the Google search results.

IPBiz googled the same thing on 17 Oct 07 and got the following:
