Google has created a separate search engine
Google has created a separate search engine dedicated to producing real-time results only. This helpful for looking latest news, comments and other information on the Internet in real time, also enable to follow conversations on social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter in one place. Google has been integrating real-time information in its main search results since last December, after signing deals with Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.
When somebody searches for a particular topic on Google they have received real-time updates from a variety of social media sites, as well as the usual list of search results. But now Google has made a separate search engine for real time result which can be access via
Its a standalone real-time search engine, which crawls the web for the most up-to-the moment search results, as well continuing to integrate real-time result into its main search results.
According to Mr. Dylan Casey, a product manager at Google, “On the new homepage you’ll find some great tools to help you refine and understand your results. First, you can use geographic refinements to find updates and news near you, or in a region you specify. So if you’re travelling to Los Angeles this summer, you can check out tweets from Angelenos to get ideas for activities happening right where you are. In addition, we’ve added a conversations view, making it easy to follow a discussion on the real-time web. Often a single tweet sparks a larger conversation of re-tweets and other replies, but to put it together you have to click through a bunch of links and figure it out yourself. With the new “full conversation” feature, you can browse the entire conversation in a single glance. We organise the tweets from oldest to newest and indent so you quickly see how the conversation developed."
“Finally, we’ve also added updates content to Google Alerts, making it easy to stay informed about a topic of your choosing. Now you can create an alert specifically for “updates” to get an email the moment your topic appears on Twitter or other short-form services. Or, if you want to manage your email volume, you can set alerts to email you once per day or week.”
Google's effort underscores the importance of real-time data on social media, in an increasingly competitive Internet search arena which it dominates. Microsoft in October also announced partnerships with Twitter and Facebook to provide real-time search results.
