Google Real Time Search

9 December 2009

Search industry giant Google goes into the growing popularity of social networks by showing tweets and Facebook updates into its search results.

The new feature was launched last Monday allowing results to be sorted by when they were posted online, which puts more emphasis on new content such as news articles, blog postings and Wikipedia updates.

However, updates coming from social network sites like facebook will only be visible if they make their account publicly viewable. The new feature called “Real Time Search” inked partnerships between facebook and myspace to pull in data real time.

    I don’t see the real value of including tweets. I mean, if you are looking for special discounts or coupons for say, home furnishing or something, than a tweet showing a discount code should be included. I dunno, guess I’m still on the fence about twitter.

    Hi Zaldy. I love that new feature. Only hopes that real time search (google trends) will also show hot topics on a per country level (much like how country level pages of Yahoo does it in their home page showing top searches). I think if that day will come for Google, real time search results will really really rock.

    Happy New Year!

    So I am very eager to give Google Real-Time Search a try by testing it out. This article basically covers my own personal observations of what I have experienced using real time search, which should provide some idea to other users of how to learn more about this new Google search result feature. This review also offers useful input to Google in further improving real time search.

    Matt Cutts states in his blog that Google processed billion of documents per day for their real time search. Well, that is a lot, and Google has really improved significantly in speeding up the crawling and indexing process, which is exceptional despite the already-enormous and increasing size of the web.

    I have heard that Twitter accounts holders who have a large number of followers,only their tweets will appear in search engine results.Besides this real time feature has been added by Google after the Caffeine Update.
