WTF Is The Value of Real-time Search?
tlrobinson: Of course it's not particularly useful if you're searching for "hotdogs"... unless there happens to be some current event involving hotdogs.Obviously "real-time search" is all about real-time events. Stuff that's happened in the last few minutes, hours, days.I've found myself using search.twitter.com for more and more things. For example, if I know some new movie trailer just came out, it's probably easier to find links to it on Twitter search than Google search. Or if some service I rely on just went down Twitter will know about it before Google search.
