Future of Search is Real Time
Posted on | June 21, 2009 | 1 Comment
The big boys are slogging it out to gain large pie of the internet search market. Google dominates it, with Yahoo and Microsoft trying to make a dent in it’s market share. Microsoft made quite some buzz with Bing.
All these search engines search for web documents and try to give the WebPages on the result’s page based on your keyword(s). They search historical sites to find the information. So, it may take some time before current events make it to its search results. Google displays Google news links on it’s homepage for current events.
After the Twitter effect, now the search results are real time. You are able to know what the twitterers are tweeting about in real time using Twitter Search. The page will request you to refresh after some time and will also display how many new tweets have been made after the results were displayed.
Tweetmeme aggregates links shared on twitter in to categories and sub-categories. You can use this to find the popular links on twittersphere.
OneRiot is another real time search engines which crawls twitter, digg and other sites to give fresh socially relevant results.
Scoopler also scans social networking sites and gives real time search results. These results update automatically and you don’t have to refresh.
Collecta scans blog posts, blog comments, twitter, jaiku, identica and flickr. Its results also updates automatically.
You can use these services to search for current events and find out what is hot right now but you need to use Google to do research and find new things that others are not interested in.
If you want to use google search in real time mode use their blogsearch and sort the results by date. Further, Google now gives the ability to search for documents according it’s publish time.
