This is cool! Jeff Louella was able to get the real time search and posted a video of it on YouTube. Apparently it’s only available when you’re logged in, and it’s still rolling out so not everyone will get it yet (even if I sit less than 5 feet from him in the office… dammit).
Update: I finally got it, but I couldn’t get my tweets to trigger in it. Wondering if it has some sort of Klout feature. I also didn’t find it all that useful. It jammed up a lot. Was this thing ready for prime time? Does it make it easier to SPAM Google, or did Google put the right precautions in place?

Yeah, this is pretty cool. Though sometimes it’s a bit annoying. I usually am not looking for Twitter pages when I’m doing a search, and I usually see Twitter results in that live results box. But I think it’s a good start toward more timely results in general. -Mike
