What does Google think of Twitter?

When you start typing a search on Google, if you have auto-complete enabled, it will start to recommend different queries based on what you’re typing. So, for example, if you write “Apple,” it will suggest Applebees, Apple store, and Apple.com, Apple trailers, among other popular Apple links/sites.

However, if you’re using Google to try and figure out what exactly Twitter is, the results are a bit insulting. Type “Twitter is ” into the search box and Google will suggest words like retarded, useless, lame, and pointless.
