Google has introduced a real time service which will see users having access to up to the second information.

The deal was announced two months after an aggregation deal with Twitter.

Leading search engine Google will collect information from over a billion web pages from web sources such as Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, so that users can access real time results including the latest tweets and Facebook updates

Amit Singhal of Google has said: “Information is being created at a pace I have never seen before and in this environment, seconds matter.”

“There is so much information being generated out there that getting you relevant information is the key to the success of a product like this,” he continues. “It's all about relevance, relevance, relevance.”

Microsoft has a similar deal with Twitter and Facebook, but Google are the first search engine to integrate real time web into its results pages, according to reports.

Google has made many updates to its search engine in the past few months and real time service is the latest update to improve the innovative search engine.

Marissa Mayer, Google’s Vice President of search products and user experience, has said “real-time search is the natural evolution of universal search.”

“This is a technical marvel, getting all these updates in seconds, making them searchable right after they are posted and making them available so that anyone in the world can find them,” she said.

Mayer continues: “The updates (on Twitter) are so truthful and so in the moment. That is a really, really powerful part of this. Are you at this event right now? Are you on this ski slope right now? And because of that 'right now' element of it, this is hugely valuable data.”

The real time information will be displayed on Google's normal result pages.
