Twitter and Search

Twitter has launched real-time search features. We called it. Others were tracking why not Twitter.

In addition to real-time search on the main page, the Twitter interface now has a feature called "Trending Topics," which keeps track of the most popular items people are searching for. All public updates sent to Twitter from anywhere are indexed and search-able through this real-time search feature. They are labeling it a "discover engine for what is happening right now."
