Taking A Stock Of Real Time Search Hype. These are all nice, but I think Twitter and Bit.ly are the ones to watch.

Google does a great job at telling us whats relevant to our queries online, but it leaves a lot out.

Real time search engines are pulling useful data from our social graph, offering immediate and often more relevant results than Google.

While some of the companies noted in the Trendspotting post (click through to read it) are going to be game changers, the one to watch, IMHO is Twitter.

Twitter and Bit.ly are working on something that will make this "real time thing" a lot more relevant to a lot more people.

I dont know what it is yet, but as GaryVee says - Twitter is Bringing the Thunder, with Search

Lets see what happens.

Twitter Brings the Thunder with…Search Twitter... via @garyvee

For those of you who question Twitter's ability to make money, you're so wrong.

I Couldnt agree more with Gary. Real Time is a very relevant, and potentially profitable niche in search. Lots of other companies are exploring the space, but Twitter has the upper hand, they have the users.

Keep an eye on this space as twitter moves to be "the pulse of the web"
