Don't Expect A Google-Twitter Reconciliation Any Time Soon
Google’s Realtime Twitter search results went offline in July 2011, and, according to Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo, we shouldn’t expect the two companies to come to an agreement to renew the service any time soon.
Google and Twitter partnered in 2009 to create Realtime Search. Twitter had been providing Google with its tweets, in real-time, to augment Google’s staple search products. The Realtime search results were culled from Twitter’s firehose and gave personalized, relevant information to searchers on news-worthy topics.
Since July 2nd, 2011, however, this service has been off the air.
