Google Realtime

If you want to search for things as they are actually happening you need realtime search, most obviously exemplified by Google Realtime. It's quite intriguing to put your search terms in the box and watch as the page updates itself every couple of seconds with new results, primarily from Twitter. Google Realtime is not the only way to do this, however. Collecta does a similar thing, but lets you choose from blogs, blog comments, photos and videos as well as Twitter, Facebook and Buzz.
