I have come across two sites that have utilized twitters realtime search and integrated it into Google. The advantage of this is that you can get current information on your search that Google has yet to index all within your browser window. All you need is to be a Firefox user, the Greasemonkey Add-on and these two sites:
MT-Hacks.com – adds the 5 news tweets to the top of the search results
Facesaerch.com – adds the 10 newest tweets to a newly created link on the blue bar.
Since these are new methods of using Twitter and Google I do not yet have an opinon on how well it works. I wonder how quick spammers will use Twitter to get their info on the top of search results.
Check it out and see what you think for yourself.
