Twitter real-time indexing by google. Does it minimize indexing time?

A few months after the Google announcement, it's more than obvious that Google loves Twitter and real-time indexing in general. Just make a search for your latest tweet, and Presto! It's there!

I made a few experiments with some unindexed brand-new sites I created for my customers. Without any doubt, Googlebot was at their doorsteps only a few minutes later. On top of that, the pages started to appear in search results a couple of days later.  Furthermore, the results are even better in already-established sites and blogs. The previous post of this blog, was instantly indexed and appeared in results in less than an hour.

I'm not quite sure about Google's future policy on that. I profoundly hope that  it will not be abused by spammers and specialized link-building twitter bot networks. For sure, the approach of search engines in indexing will be from now on focused on real-time information flow as it represents a huge  percentage of the overall user-contributed content in the web.

EDIT:

Oh! I forgot! The proof of concept :-)
