Ian Lurie at Conversation Marketing tells us:
Google has let their subscription to the Twitter firehose expire.
If you built your SEO strategy around Twitter and Facebook as outreach tools, a sound link acquisition strategy and best practices site construction with great content as the centerpiece, then you're fine.
This is the core of future-proof SEO: Do use channels like Twitter and Facebook. Google's move doesn't mean you should stop doing so.
So definitely keep using Twitter for your business. Just don't use it thinking it'll help your rankings that much.
