Microblogging is taking over the world tweet by tweet. The success of Twitter and other microblogging services has given rise to a “need to know things as they are happening” attitude. It’s like gossiping with the whole world, but you don’t have to be seen,heard or even known, for that matter. Taking that idea, Google may be incorporating a microblog search into their current searching software. There is no confirmation of it, but it seems to be more likely to happen than not.
They would be keeping ahead of the times if they were to do so. Twitter has a search of its own, but it’s very limited and definitely doesn’t include other microblogger sites in its results.
There is no confirmation on how they will incorporate this into their searching, so there are a few speculations. They may just have a link to recent microblog posts related to the search or they may even have an interactive sort of result where a user can view recent results, old results, sort by specific microblogging site, or whatever else you could imagine.
So now, along with finding images and webpages for a search on the term “overlord,” you may end up being able to see what people have written on that same subject that same second. You could then find a way to post your opinions and thoughts if you desire, so that you may be included in the search results for the next “overlord” searching user.
You have to keep up with the gossip somehow, right?
