- sturmgiest, on 06/21/2009, -3/+11Buried for advertising spam. Those "search engines" are jokes. Google is all you need.
- Barackalypse, on 06/21/2009, -2/+9Real time sounds like a cheap way to try and cash in on Twitter and other social media sites, which are exactly the sites I DON'T want search results from.
- poprocksandsoda, on 06/21/2009, -4/+8I love how people get marketing groups to flood Digg with advertising to create a sense of awareness about a site/product that no one cares about, knows about or knows about and still cares about.

- thalassicus, on 06/21/2009, -0/+2I continue to be amazed that Google puts so little emphasis on chronology. To search for pages from the last week/month/year, you have to click "advanced search" and then "dates/usage rights/numeric range" before you can set how far back to look. Three levels deep for something that gets more important each day?
- BearKill, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1And here I thought I was out of touch with an important, emerging area of technology! Never heard of any of these!
- usaseopros, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1It's cute that these sites are trying to get some market share in this area, but it's probably going to prove to be a waste of time once Google implements it's real-time search, which has already been hinted at: http://bit.ly/nbtfJ (CNet)
- funkywood, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Totally agree. Google needs to get better at dating stuff over time and make the last time a page was updated (tricky with ads and ***** changing around static content but hey this is Google) a prominent part of search results so you can see straight away if it's out of date. It shouldn't need to as web authors should be used to putting a date on anything that is time sensitive and timestamps should be standard, but they aren't. It's one of the most frustrating things about search.
"The issue for real-time search is figuring out the right balance between immediacy, popularity and relevance."
Why not let us choose the balance? Sometimes I don't care about popularity. Sometimes I want to the latest stuff that everyone else is missing and that hasn't been linked to and page ranked yet. - theafroguy, on 06/21/2009, -0/+1i used twitterfall.com to follow the nintendo E3 keynote instead of watching the stream, and that was great. but when people get bored of twitter and move on to greener pastures, these search engines will become even more useless than they already are.
- icanhasgossip16, on 06/21/2009, -1/+0it sounds like people just want to cash in on social networks that people use all the time. These networks are still running and they just want them for the quick cash. You don't know when this stuff will end and selling the idea's or the site itself is to get people out of the debt they racked up. No one wants search results from a social network. The idea that comes to mind scares me.
- inactive, on 06/21/2009, -1/+0I knoe! How DARE Larry Page say that Google may be lacking in some areas! I mean, who the hell is he?
Because we all know that advertisments show your product...and ten of your competitors - heyimfromreddit, on 06/21/2009, -3/+1Well it's a blog post about 11 different sites so no...
