Google has such a large market share... it will take a while to eat into it, unless Google stumbles.
Bing.com is gaining its` share of use... it needs to keep making in-roads VS. google - like the Twitter search... to give a reason for people to use it.
Bing.com`s commercials imply Google search results are not a relevant (useful for decision making) as a bing search results. That is a hard sell.

At this time it only affects Bing.com search results. However, Twitter is too large now to be ignored and almost mandatory for business to have a Twitter presence.... as that continues to happen Twitter content will become more relevant to "normal" searches.
Smart Twitter users are already optimizing their Tweets to highlight keywords.
I imagine at some point Google will have a real time search, they may not use Twitter... they may create their own.
