Google’s new real time search
But the Internet is not what it was a few years ago. It is now a dynamic system, with information flowing at a pace so fast that if news is more than a few seconds old, it's old news.
That's why I find Google's real time search so interesting. I really think they're onto something here: take the new instant sources for news and information (Twitter, essentially), and throw it in with the search results. What you get is an informative mix of instantaneous news and discussion, often interesting enough for one to feel like getting involved, in addition to the traditional sources of information that have been proven useful.
What may seem like a small change to the monster search engine that most of us use, know and love, will probably prove to be another evolution in search. It's different from what Bing is doing. In the future, I see each having their own individual uses, as each tries to redefine what a "search engine" has become.
