Google Aims To Push The Speed Of Light With Realtime Results. Seriously.

Today, at its Search Event in Mountain View, Google Fellow Amit Singhal took the stage to announce a big new feature for the search giant: Realtime. " It’s Google’s relevance technology meeting the realtime web ," is how Singhal described it. As we've learned over the past several months with Twitter Search, relevancy is perhaps the key to making realtime search a pillar of the web. Google seems to believe it has cracked the code for this, and has been internally testing it for a while now. But starting today it's going live for everyone.
