The Real Time Search Dilemma: Consciousness Versus Memory. This is a great post about emerging innovations in search technology and how, once again, it is the small and nimble that are driving the next wave.
I believe that real time search, or metaphorically, searching the web's consciousness real time, is a fascinating concept. That said, I do not believe it has general purpose business applicability(same goes for Twitter). Sure if you are a journalist or trading stocks then real time search is a requirement, but from a business perspective these are the exceptions to the rule.
That said, it is often difficult to predict if/when a niche business app turns into something of use to the general business population. Besides, real time search is just cool to geek on!
