Google has announced today that it’s launching real time search. Simply click the “Latest” tab in the search options menu and you’ll be presented with a live, self-updating stream of up to the second results. It appears to include Twitter, Facebook and blogs, from what I’ve seen and Google claims to be able to rank these results quickly enough to make the real time results relevant – I suppose only time will tell! TechCrunch has covered the news in the most detail I’ve seen so far.
If you want to try it out and you don’t see the “Latest” link, give this link a try.
I’ve been playing around watching a few queries for a while now, and I’m wondering, can a little blog like mine pop up in the stream? If so, how quickly? This post is my test.
… and within a minute, I get my answer. Yes it does.
That’s seriously impressive.
its showing up for me! I was wondering the same..it’s pretty impressive!
