Google Showing Official Sites in Instant Search

This morning I was doing some searches for a client using some common websites and I saw this when searching for “Facebook Login”:

When you click this, IT TAKES YOU DIRECTLY TO FACEBOOK!

This is also happening with Twitter:

But not with SEOmoz:

Or SearchEngineLand:

I don’t know if this is a test or not. Are others seeing it? It definitely seems that Google is giving preference to these brands even more now, potentially so that others have a harder time getting organic traffic from ranking for these site branded terms?

Are you seeing this?
