I 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.



Live 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.


the 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.
