Up until now, when Twitter has struck deals overseas with carriers, it has mainly been for SMS deals so that users can send/receive tweets for free and/or cheap. Today, Twitter has announced a new type of deal with NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest carrier: a content deal. As they've announced in Japanese on their blog (with English translation below), "Tweets and other Twitter content will be included in DOCOMO i-mode portal search results, providing access to relevant, real-time information."?In other words, it's a deal similar to the one that Twitter struck with Google, Microsoft and others a few years back.
