This is a big deal for Google, which will remain the search King, unthreatened by searches within Twitter and Facebook, as those results will now show up on Google.

This is a big deal for Facebook, as with over 1.6 million active Fan Pages, of which 700,000+ are local business, all sharing content on a regular basis, this will get Facebook lots more traffic from Google (as if Facebook, needed more traffic, right?)
