I never had any use for this Twitter/real-time feature of Google. Perhaps that was the general conclusion so they just dropped it?

- JeremyBanks 15y agoPersonally, I found it very useful for following stories as they were developing, or to see if other people were having issues with a service when I was. Having this integrated into my normal Google searches was convenient, but I guess using Twitter's search directly isn't terrible.
- rxin 15y agoI am pretty sad that this contract is not renewed. I found Google realtime search ironically provided a much better search interface for tweets than the one twitter did.
- gscott 15y agoPlus they already crawl Twitter. It may not be real time over all of Twitter but I bet the accounts with a great deal of followers get crawled every few hours.
