Google and Real-Time Search
Google announced yesterday its real-time search plans and released a screencast of how it will allegedly work. It will include content from twitter, news, blogs and social networking sites. It’s hardly a surprise, I find myself more and more searching twitter search (summize.com) these days to find information, or to just use my twitter community to push information to me and find it that way. I also use delicious to find ranked and tagged information. I tend to value more what the community i.e. real people think more so than Google.

I may not be the typical user, but you’d have to think that there is a real need for niche search products. I don’t find the most interesting stuff through Google anymore its most definitely social – and its only beginning so very interesting times ahead. Maybe the Google Realtime search will address some of these issues. Here’s the video:
