The Internet seems to always be buzzing about something Google has launched or modified. This week, however, is a very interesting step for the way in which search engines index information. According to Google fellow Amit Singhal, updates every minute are not enough – Google must begin indexing every second to keep up with the pace at which new data is published on the Internet.

Over the course of this week, you will begin to slowly see new feeds – both news and Twitter results – filtering into your search results. The example given was a search for “Obama.” Within your typical static search results is a scrolling bar which features the latest, real time news about the subject of interest.

Google already has a partnership with Twitter to include indexed Tweets from users, and is expected to develop similar agreements for Facebook and MySpace.

So what does this mean for the savvy Internet user, or the occasional user? Ultimately, it means to most timely information at the tip of your fingertips. Google’s goal is to always offer the most comprehensive, relevant and timely data possible. This “latest results” section will include more than just microblogging and social media updates; it will also include new websites as they are created real time – offering an opportunity for broader exposure and rapid indexing for websites across the board.
