Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yahoo is including more Twitter messages in its search results to give people a better sense about what's happening on the Web.
The expansion is the latest move to underscore the growing importance of Twitter's short posts, or "tweets," to internet search engines.
Both Google and Microsoft are paying Twitter for better access to the millions of tweets shared each day.
Yahoo, based in Sunnyvale, California, is relying on free tools to find tweets that touch upon a topic mentioned in a search request.
A link to the relevant tweets will appear among the rest of Yahoo's search results.
Yahoo last month began to include tweets as part of a feature that identifies hot news stories.
