Google Discover integrates X posts with follower counts
Google is testing the inclusion of X (formerly Twitter) posts in Discover feeds, now displaying follower counts alongside content. This update aims to improve trust and credibility, allowing users to gauge the influence of a profile before engaging. By integrating social signals directly into Discover, Google is blurring lines between traditional search content and social media visibility. The feature may help publishers and influencers expand reach, while giving users richer context for engagement. If widely adopted, it could further establish Discover as a hybrid space for news, updates, and social interaction.
