Google prepping Web2.0rhea search?

Google has hinted it may launch a search tool specifically for Twitter and other services dedicated to Web2.0rhea. The Google Operating System blog - a site unaffiliated with the Mountain View Chocolate Factory - recently noticed that the company's localization service was alluding to some sort of Google "MicroBlogsearch" tool …

Web2.0rhea

"Web2.0rhea". It still makes me chuckle. I can't pronounce it, but the voice in my head says it perfectly everytime.

Twitter search...

for Bruce Schneier's people with readily identifiable homes and businesses who twit that they're leaving town for a week.

I vote we call it "Web2.0rhea Burglomatic".

Pepto-Bismol anybody?

For some reason, I feel the need to check the stock in my medicine cabinet.......

Update

My old English teacher used to say "don't use 15 words when 5 will do". Google could have shortened that statement to a single word: "Yes".

Makes sense to me.....

"Google Operating System has decided that Google's Microblogging service will operate much like Google's native Blog Search tool, sorting results according to how relevant they are - not just when they were posted. But again, this merely states the obvious."

A search tool for Twitter that is going to be "sorting results according to how relevant they are".

You know what..... that might be musically incorrect but I can't be bothered typing lots of HahHahs.... Just a moment though. I can use computer technology and...

More Useful?

"While we don't have anything to announce today, real-time information is important, and we're looking at different ways to use this information to make Google more useful to our users."

I fall to see how a search designed specifically to go through whether someone is thinking about making a cup of tea or is having a shit can possibly be described as "more useful"....

As long as they section it off as a separate search option (like groups, blogs or images) then that's just fine. I don't want to do a search on "train times", for example, and have to wade through 15 bazillion tweets complaining about how they're waiting for the train or the train is late or what-fucking-ever-I-don't-give-a-fuck to get to the train timetable site.
