Start-ups scramble to use real-time search
Dow Jones Venture Wire, October 28, 2009
Move follows recent tie-ups between Microsoft, Google and Twitter.
Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp.‘s Bing are rumbling into the real-time search space, saying last week that they separately have agreements with Twitter to incorporate the microblogging platform’s short messages into their search engine results.
The explosive popularity of Twitter and the limitations of its own search tool have made such moves expected, but now that the deals have been announced, what does it mean for start-ups trying to develop their own spin on real-time search?
