Search Twitter updates on Google
By: J Shamsul
Did you know that now you could search live Twitter updates on Google? Well yeah you could now. I also notice that sometimes Google includes Twitter updates in their search results. A little Twitter updates widgets sandwiched in between web and news results.
You could also have only Twitter updates within Google. Type in the latest Twitter trend you are interested in in the search box. On the result page right below the search box, there is a link, ‘Show options’. Click it and you’ll see on the left there are several links to search options. Click ‘Updates’ to have a live flowing Twitter updates.
My guesses is that this won’t only be for Twitter, but also Facebook status updates once Google could index them. Is this Google’s attempt for real-time search?
Next time whenever some major news breaks on Twitter, try using Google to keep track of updates, rather then Twitter’s search. Just a thought.
