After watching Twittermania steal some Google thunder, one of Google’s founders has addressed the issue. ReadWriteWeb reported that Google is into real time indexing. You will want to read the story “Larry Page on Real Time Google: We Have To Do It” here. For me the most interesting remark in the write up was:
“I have always thought we needed to index the web every second to allow real time search,” Le Meur quotes Page as saying. “At first, my team laughed and did not believe me. With Twitter, now they know they have to do it. Not everybody needs sub-second indexing but people are getting pretty excited about real-time.”
My question: Is it too late?
