Google Search goes real time, real big.

For some time now, Google has given users the option of narrowing down your search results based on various factors, with time being one of the more important options — in my mind anyway. For “in the now” folks such as myself, I’ve made heavy use of the relatively new “Latest” category in Google Search which pulled its information from Twitter as well as many other real-time, constantly updating services.

Today, however, Google is giving real-time a much more prominent position in their offerings with a new, stand along search page: Google.com/realtime. As one could expect, all of the search results are…realtime.

The latest info at your finger tips complete with a nifty graph that shows you the popularity of your search topic within the last 24 hours or so. But the coolest part about the new graph is that you can click on any one of the sections of time, and in return, Google will instantly queue up the relevant tweets and other real-time news sources from that exact hour. Pretty nifty, huh?
