Google has ended its agreement with Twitter allowing Google to show real-time Twitter results in Google's "Realtime Search." Google hasn't said why it ended the agreement, in place since October 2009, but the launch of Google+ presumably has something to do with the decision.While Google will not have access to the former special feed from Twitter, information on Twitter that’s publicly available to Google's crawlers will still be searchable and discoverable on Google.
Google also said that went Google Realtime Search relaunches, it will include content from a variety of sources and not just be solely devoted to Google material.
Google Realtime Search already has been carrying content from a variety of services beyond Twitter, including Facebook fan page updates. In addition to Quora and Gowalla content, Google Realtime Search indexes:
- Twitter tweets
- Google News links
- Google Blog Search links
- Newly created web pages
- Freshly updated web pages
- FriendFeed updates
- Jaiku updates
- Identi.ca updates
- TwitArmy updates
- Google Buzz posts
- MySpace updates
- Facebook fan page updates
- Quora
- Gowolla
- Plixi
- Me2day
- Twitgoo
