Google Showing Realtime Recent Tweets in Search Results

After writing about Google.com/dictionary. Yesterday while searching for some stuff I came across a search result in google (see below).

Its showing the recent tweets from the makeuseof twitter account. Even better it is realtime. That’s why its showing a pause button I guess.

Could this be another new update (like google’s accessible search for the blind) or just a testing…. As I didn’t see these type of search results for any Twitter celebs etc.

During the past few weeks and months, there has been a lot of discussion about whether Twitter’s "real time search" could pose a threat to Google. Seems it may be the reason for this update I guess.

Tip : There is also a greasemonkey userscript (Link) for firefox to show real-time search results from Twitter on Google search pages. Also if you are a google chrome user, read about the useful twitter extension for chrome.

What do you think….??
