Google introduces real time search results
Posted by admin in Bing, Google Search Engine, Twitter on December 8th, 2009
Google has introduced some exciting features to its search engine. To keep pace with websites like twitter and facebook that are updated with tweets and posts every second.
This service will be introduced gradually to all Google users and over the next week or so, everyone will be able to see updates posted just seconds ago, in Google Search result pages. Apart from tweets and status updates, items like blog posts and news articles. Earlier, Google had an option where news and articles from only “a few minutes” ago appeared in search results by default. But the new feature will be similar to Twitter’s existing search feature but on a larger and broader scale. Both, the Internet sensation Twitter and social networking giant Facebook, have confirmed that they have inked a deal with Google for real time results. Earlier, Twitter had made a separate deal with Microsoft to make live updates available in it’s new Bing search engine.
Bing gains share
Microsoft’s Bing search engine ate in to Google’s market share during August, according to new data. A research note from JPMorgan cited data from industry tracker comScore to show that Bing’s search share had grown from 8.9 percent in July, to 9.3 percent in August in the United States.
