Innovation seems never ending when it comes to Google. From its early days with search, Google has continually developed and acquired products such as Finance, Orkut, Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and it never stops. This time Google has added a new feature to help us mine the never-ending Twitter updates.
Partnership deals with Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have already made Twitter profitable. Twitter now has made all of its historical, archived data (Tweets) available to the public. Many of us have often wondered what was going on about certain topics around the world, and the best way to be kept updated was to read newspapers, watch news channels, and online research. This has been simplified to a good extent and now people’s reactions via Twitter are searchable through Google.
You can try it out by following these simple steps, Enter your search topic in Google > Show options > Updates. Whats more, you can pause and reset the updates as per your preferences. The first page will show you the familiar latest and greatest short-form updates from a comprehensive set of sources, but now there’s a new chart at the top. In that chart, you can select the year, month or day, or click any point to view the tweets from that specific time period.
Giving more details is like spoiling the fun. You must check it out and stay updated about your favorite topic. Google plans to index tweets going all the way back to the very first one, which took place on March 21, 2006. This is a revolutionary feature of sharing updates and making information available publicly worldwide. There could not have been a better tool for startups, if they had to find out about the discussions that were going on related to their businesses, and also giving a sense of the current market trends.
