While you were out boiling events in your life down to 140-character snippets, Twitter’s added some functionality that should get you added to Google‘s hot list. That’s right, the now-famous microblog/time-waster/marketing tool/what IS that thing (depending on whom you ask) has tweaked the titles of its user pages to make them show up better in search.

As TechCrunch’s Robin Wauters pointed out, his page title now says “Robin Wauters on Twitter,” instead of “Twitter/Robin Wauters.” He ran a test on people he knows who use Twitter, and the results show that this little change makes the Twitter pages appear higher in the search results than they had. Founder Biz Stone told Wauters the change was made yesterday.

So what does it mean? It means that Twitter is trying to get its users more exposure, which is especially helpful for those people who are using the service to market their businesses.
