Google Real Time Search
First came to know about the Google Real Time search from the mashable article on Monday http://mashable.com/2009/12/07/google-real-time-search/.Then it was not formally launched and you had append the following querystring parameter esrch=RTSearch manually to see the real time updates.These search results are pulled from various sources like Facebook, Twitter, and other news publishing site , Twitter being the primary.I think Tuesday or Wednesday it was part of normal Google search and URL manipulation was no longer necessary.
Google's closest rival in the "Search Wars", Bing has also launched their Twitter search which is now in Beta.

However this is for Twitter only.Let's see what Bing does to pull real time data from other sites like FaceBook etc.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
I think I have stumbled across this book quite few times over the last ten years but never bother to pick it up and turned it's pages.May be because of "Zen" or "Motorcycle Maintenance" in the books title acted as a repellant.
This Saturday I was in office whole day for production rollout of our system.While random surfing came somehow landed in the following wiki article on MetaPhysics Of Quality.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirsig%27s_metaphysics_of_Quality
The topic seemed interesting and bought this book from a nearby store.So far read first three chapters.Wonderful !!!.
But the title is really confusing.The book was lying on my desk and one of our team members thought it belongs to somebody else in our team,a guy who is a sort of "Kid in the town with a relatively new bike" :-)

Was too busy with my bro's marriage to concentrate on the WWW.
Good to see RTSearch but then, do u think its useful?
I mean, we are already following tweets of 1000****s of ppl and to search for that is just a waste of processing power. Think so!
Also, these searches would only duplicate the functionality implemented in the original site (ref. facebook)
Whats ur view on that?
Why is this RT so needed?
@Vaibhav thanks for your comment.

Before I was answer your question one thing important thing I would like to ask "Why are u using twitter?"
