looks like Google finally has their realtime search running kinda like bings twitter search but better... and "Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our new partners that we're announcing today: Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca — along with Twitter, which we announced a few weeks ago" (from Google blog post)

i tried some of the searches and didn't see anything new.

i got it working!

for this query: search for [realtime search] on experimental Google. @mattcutts re-tweeted a link to this page that seems to use realtime search more. this is the way cool video that shows it working (and its got cool music) ill be posting more here as i find out more so check back soon

edit: ok so bing already kinda has a twitter search that it plans to improve on but like Google tweets still aren't on main results page but Yahoo (who props to them i like their new stuff) plans to change that announcing that they will be showing tweets in results soon this will hopefully help yahoo gain some ground back as they are struggling keeping their part of the search pie. Google social search experiment is the closest thing google has for social media search so far



the title says it all i was reading my daily rss and this clicked across...
Official Google Blog: RT @google: Tweets and updates and search, oh my!

so Google is going to be joining the twitter bandwagon. but wheres the link? Bing looks like they are ahead of the game already with their Bing Twitter Search it has a small tag cloud but little more im sure google will do it better with longer history but i wonder if we will see ReTweet tools built into searches with the ability to pass oAuth to Twitter and tweet from inside our searches. if it was an unobtrusive menue id think it was great. what are your thoughts?

Update II : we got the ip of data center that will respond about 50% of time with caffeine

based on this post from search engine land we now know that the ip of the caffeine data center is

209.85.225.103

. ive updated my tool to compare the two flavors of search so it will use this new ip and it should return caffine results about half of the time. and again the release data is sometime after the holidays... Google has also been testing a new layout and i have speculated that it may be released when caffeine rolls out...

UPDATE: Google has finished its preview of caffeine and the tool no longer works...

our friend Matt Cutts has stated in his blog that caffeine wont be released until after the holidays and that they will be continuing to test the new version of caffeine transparently at one datacenter and that he will probably be releasing the ip of that data center (at some point) because the dev preview has been closed

(see above we got new ip and updated comparison tool)
sorry if anybody missed it but they closed the preview and it just has a little message:

---

We appreciate all the feedback from people who searched on our Caffeine sandbox.

Based on the success we've seen, we believe Caffeine is ready for a larger audience. Soon we will activate Caffeine more widely, beginning with one data center. This sandbox is no longer necessary and has been retired, but we appreciate the testing and positive input that webmasters and publishers have given.

this is old article text you can still read it if you like but caffine release date is quickly approaching and will soon be the standard google search...

so i just saw a update from the Google blog about Google caffeine its basically a different back end for their searches that should allow faster better and smarter indexing and updates. But what has really changed its hard to tell the difference so i created Google vs Google caffeine it lets you look at the different results side by side so you can see for yourself its here at

Edit:
i thought id give some more info on what Google caffeine is and here it came from so here are some other sources:
Search Engine Land about new Caffeine Google

The official Google blog asking for some help and announcing the dev preview

not sure on when the release date of Google caffeine is but should be soon based on them releasing the test site for public review



my analytics on google vs. google caffine is

5,638.46%

Edit 2:
8,030.77%
