Twitter Dominates Google Real Time Search

Finally Google has launched its real-time search website which aggregates data from social media and features constantly updated news.

There are many social media search engines but I guess Google has lots more resources than small startups and Google Real Time Search would gobble up the competitors.

Tried out about a dozen keywords and was a bit disappointed to see that Twitter accounts for nearly all the search results. For some keywords there were a couple of results from Facebook.

Only time will tell how popular Google Real Time Search is. In my view Google Blog Search isn't as popular as it ought to be. Most of the search traffic on my blogs comes from plain google search. I guess people like simplicity.

One important thing to note is that Orkut - google's social media site does not allow data to enter from and leave to other sites - unlike Facebook, Twitter and most other Web 2.0 networking and micorblogging platforms. So it is impossible that any results from Orkut would be displayed in Google Real Time Search.
