Technology, Real-time Search | featured news

Google turned on real-time search on its main site this morning with little fanfare, after a huge announcement and demo earlier this week.

Google will supplement its search results with updates posted each second to sites like Twitter and Facebook.

"Realtime" is the hot buzzword right now, and Google and MySpace appear set to further it along with a new agreement that will see Google serve up search results from MySpace in realtime. What these means is that all publicly available data that's on MySpace will be available to Google within seconds, we've learned.

Yahoo is expected to this week to begin showing a portion of its users search results that are ranked by their popularity with Internet users in real-time, under a deal with start-up OneRiot.
