Cool Toys Pic of the day - Google Realtime for Reference by rosefirerising

I tend to assume that folks hear about most of the new things Google

brings out, but maybe I shouldn't make that assumption. Today someone

on Twitter was telling someone else how to figure out what cool things

they had Twittered last month. Twitter search doesn't go back that

far. You can try searching in Google, and it may or may not decide to

actually show you something useful. Even if you now it exists, that

doesn't mean Google will show it to you! Now, me, I have all kinds of

sneaky searching tricks, but when it comes to tracking down old

Tweets, that takes special tricks. Searching in regular Google isn't

likely to do it.

Google Realtime has been out for over a year, so it isn't

particularly new, but it is quite useful. I am accustomed to using it

on a regular basis and just didn't think about, well, telling other

folk! My apologies. What can you do with it? A LOT. But first, the

limitations. When it first came out, I misunderstood and thought

Google Realtime searched all the main social media sites - Twitter,

Facebook statuses, Flickr pics, Youtube videos, blogs, etc. Um, no. I

mean, well, it says it does! It says, "Realtime Search lets you see

up-to-the-second social updates, news articles and blog posts about

hot topics around the world." But really, when I use it, it is mostly

just Twitter results.

The obvious use is when you want to know what's going on or being said

right now. Breaking news, hot topics, international crises, sports,

etc. Big buzz here today is the situation with University of Michigan

football coaches. Is he fired or isn't he? Are they hiring someone new

or aren't they? Who are they trying to recruit? Who won't come? Who

might? Who is playing things coy? Buzz, buzz, buzz. It just keeps

scrolling. Heck, you can even make an email alert if you want to be

constantly updated on a really critical topic.

Google Realtime does a fair job with this sort of current events

question, but it can do a lot more. Tracking a hashtag? Check

theTimeline (frequency display in the upper right hand corner) to

find what time of day it peaks. Use the arrows to scroll back a couple

days and find out which day the tag is most used. This is especially

useful if you want to join a formal Twitter chat and aren't sure when

it is scheduled. In the example screenshot, I show the #hcsm chat,

which has a constant low level buzz all week, and then skyrockets on

Sunday evenings when the formal chat is scheduled. Vavoom! It really

shows in the metrics of Google Realtime.

What about refinding something you ought to remember? That tweet you

sent last month, or the date and time the Dundee tornado hit? Here it

is January, and I could scroll back to last June, focus in on the

specific day, and even a particular time of day, all through using the

Timeline.
