Did anyone actually notice and give a damn? I personally remember those animated twitter stream search results as being a useless distraction, and I am quite glad they are gone. I think google realized they were of little relevance to the typical searcher and Google now has enough data to decide the results aren't worth paying much for. In fact, Google has already long since pulled the realtime search results from the primary serps.
- ben1040 15y agoI personally find Twitter to mostly be noise, so I really got no value out of that real time stream result. If I really wanted to search Twitter results, I'd have gone to the Twitter search page, not Google.
- riffraff 15y agothe web is also mostly noise, what made google's success was the ability to separate the signal. Alas, I don't think they were anywhere close to doing that with the real time search anyway.
- checker 15y agoLive search was awesome to find out about breaking news before even the news wires got it. When there was a bomb scare in Times Square, I remember reading the tweets and getting some great information.
- altrego99 15y agoI didn't notice before reading this... but I will be sorry to miss the instant confirmation of earthquake tremors that I seemed to feel minutes ago.
- Hisoka 15y agoI don't give a damn. Yes, there are some useful tweets but 99% of them are trivial noise. Google probably didn't invested a lot of time in filtering the noise. So getting rid of it was the best decision.
