Google strikes again. Now this time with a real time search feature. And the good thing is, this is available for mobiles also.
This real time search made a huge wave in the internet world, when twitter announced it. And from that day everyone just love it.
Google blog post regarding the same says,
First, we’re introducing new features that bring your search results to life with a dynamic stream of real-time content from across the web. Now, immediately after conducting a search, you can see live updates from people on popular sites like Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts published just seconds before. When they are relevant, we’ll rank these latest results to show the freshest information right on the search results page.
This is how it looks,
Here is a video from the google.
This real-time search updates as stuff is happening around the Web — for example, live tweets, Yahoo Answers, news articles and Web pages now stream in on the actual result pages for your query.
Google says the features aren’t available to everyone yet, but will be within the next few days.
Yahoo! GO, launched in 2006, was an application offered news, mail, weather, traffic, and Yahoo! search from a mobile device. Today, Yahoo is announcing that Yahoo! Go will be shutdown on January 12, 2010.
The reasoning behind shutting down Go is simple, says Yahoo. As Yahoo unrolls individual apps in verticals and boosts its mobile site, Go was becoming obsolete. The team that was working on Go! will now be relocated to working on the mobile site product and various apps. Yahoo recently launched mobile apps for Flickr, and Yahoo Finance.
Techcrunch seems to be having a copy of the email that will be sent to the Yahoo! Go users tomorrow.
According to several news sources, Microsoft and Yahoo have agreed to an online search and advertising partnership which is to be announced and this announcement is most likely to happen in the the next 24 Hours.
This move will help them to make a good stand in both the search market and the Ads market. According to the current situation Google has the most market share for these.
The deal will focus on revenue sharing between the two companies, says AllThingsD. The deal also means Microsoft’s powerful Bing search will be enhancing the power of Yahoo searches while the Advertisement part of both companies will be done by Yahoo.
As of June, Google’s search engine was used for 65 percent of all US searches, with Yahoo lagging behind at 19.6 percent and Bing at 8.4 percent.
There could be a hitch however.
“Any agreement where Microsoft powers search and shares the search data to Yahoo is open to scrutiny from US and EU justice departments,”
says Colin Gillis, an analyst at Brigantine Advisors, via Reuters.
