Is there gold in them thar tweets?

Maybe so, because – according to sources familiar with the situation – Twitter is in advanced talks with Microsoft and Google separately about striking data-mining deals, in which the companies would license a full feed from the microblogging service that could then be integrated into the results of their competing search engines.

Sources said a number of scenarios are being discussed to compensate Twitter for its huge and potentially valuable trove of real-time and content-sharing information, generated from the data stream of billions of tweets of its 54 million monthly users.

That includes a number of structures, including a payment of several million dollars to Twitter, along with various revenue-sharing proposals that would give Twitter a piece of the revenue made from search results.

The deals, stressed sources close to the situation, are non-exclusive, especially because Twitter’s management is keen to remain independent and also non-partisan in the growing search battle between Google Inc. (GOOG) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT).

That means Yahoo (YHOO)- which recently struck a search technology and online advertising deal – could also license Twitter’s feed to make its search results even more robust, although Boomtown could not determine if the company was in talks with Twitter.

Sources said it is also possible that no agreement would be reached with either company.

And execs at Twitter, Microsoft and Google had no comment when asked about talks.

But doing these kinds of data deals with big search players does make a lot of sense, since it would be hard for Twitter to turbocharge its own search engine without running into the big, cash-laden guns at both Google and Microsoft, which recently launched its new Bing search service.

Twitter is, instead, seeking to create a large open platform, which many could plug into, from search engines to marketers to publishers to developers.

Twitter has also been considering offering premium services to these groups and is also contemplating some form of advertising offering.

But, most of all, Silicon Valley’s hot start-up is focusing now on spurring growth and engagement, along with fine-tuning its product offering.

Being deeply integrated into big search services would give Twitter a huge footprint.

Microsoft had already done a small experiment this past summer integrating Twitter data into search results, starting with tweets of bloggers like me.

How much of an indexing of its data Twitter will allow is unclear, but it certainly has bought itself time to think carefully about all its options, given that it now has a lot of money in the bank.

Late last month, Twitter raised another $100 million in new funding, after already have raised $55 million.

This has given it a $1 billion valuation, despite negligible revenue.

And, that valuation effectively stated that the company was pretty much putting itself out of play to be acquired and very interested in forging its own destiny.

Both Google and Microsoft execs have contemplated the idea of buying Twitter in the past, although no serious talks ever moved forward.

If they both strike a data deals with Twitter, they will get the next best thing – an ability to offer all the information disseminated on Twitter in its search results.

At the recent Search Marketing and Expo East Conference (SMX) several members of the Google Web Toolkit team delivered a presentation on making AJAX enabled web apps crawlable. This presentation included a proposal that is currently in the works which aims to solve the fundamental problem that it is difficult to index AJAX enabled web apps and therefore their searchability suffers.
