Next time you have a problem with your machine or with some code you're writing try your search on Google and on Twitter Search. Next time you want to buy something try Google and Twitter. Next time you want to look up the population of Tanzania try Google and Twitter. Twitter provides "real-time search," but that is just a small, almost miniscule subset of Google's capabilities. You can in some cases get real-time data from social aggregators and Facebook; I think those are the real competitors to Twitter. Twitter is not even in the same league as Google. They don't cover the same areas, they don't have the same business models, they don't have comparable numbers of users, they don't offer the same services. There is absolutely no competition here.
