I think by launching everywhere, they were basically pulling a PR stunt. Google has been pulling back the reigns on real-time results, unless its for niche, and trendy/newsy stuff.

I think we are going through a new dawn in social media and social media is really trying to define itself and work out the role it plays in everyday media and communications. I think when utilised effectively as a promotion source Twitter is without a doubt a great voice for small - medium business.

Clearly they are dinking with the technology to their own marketing advantage. You really have to admire the level playing field Google maintains for everyone. All this "secret cookie" black hat stuff (for mandatory web history) can just be ignored as long as people get to see Google-related tweets in real-time without having to worry about clicking through to OPTIONS/LATEST.

At least until (more) relevance kicks in. Or maybe at all. Yup Eric, a “RTSR (RealTimeSpammyResults) opt-out” option saved in the users search preferences cookie would be very nice to have.

Within an hour people were spamming it in comical ways. I think someone sent a tweet that mentioned how their child's kitten died choking on a yellow skittle. Not true but to see that on skittle's stream right on their homepage was, well, just nuts. Sometimes I think it's the public relations buzz and desire to look all sophisticated and web6.0 locked in. That's what the companies are after that drives decisions. After all, Google certainly has been in the news for all this, even if this whole firestorm is known in-house at the Googleplex to be just a test, and they haven't told us. Yet. I will give them credit for taking the gamble. When this "feature" becomes one click opt-out, and they can show a few million kept it, that's a win. -Eric Wasn’t it Skittles back a few months ago that streaming unfiltered tweets straight to their homepage?
