back to article Google prepping Web2.0rhea search?

Google has hinted it may launch a search tool specifically for Twitter and other services dedicated to Web2.0rhea. The Google Operating System blog - a site unaffiliated with the Mountain View Chocolate Factory - recently noticed that the company's localization service was alluding to some sort of Google "MicroBlogsearch" tool …

    I vote we call it "Web2.0rhea Burglomatic".

    Update

    My old English teacher used to say "don't use 15 words when 5 will do". Google could have shortened that statement to a single word: "Yes".

    Makes sense to me.....

    "Google Operating System has decided that Google's Microblogging service will operate much like Google's native Blog Search tool, sorting results according to how relevant they are - not just when they were posted. But again, this merely states the obvious."

    A search tool for Twitter that is going to be "sorting results according to how relevant they are".

    You know what..... that might be musically incorrect but I can't be bothered typing lots of HahHahs.... Just a moment though. I can use computer technology and...

    More Useful?

    "While we don't have anything to announce today, real-time information is important, and we're looking at different ways to use this information to make Google more useful to our users."

    I fall to see how a search designed specifically to go through whether someone is thinking about making a cup of tea or is having a shit can possibly be described as "more useful"....

    As long as they section it off as a separate search option (like groups, blogs or images) then that's just fine. I don't want to do a search on "train times", for example, and have to wade through 15 bazillion tweets complaining about how they're waiting for the train or the train is late or what-fucking-ever-I-don't-give-a-fuck to get to the train timetable site.
