Google has a new way to surf the stream of conciousness internet hive mind. I have wondered if google was responding to the need for real time search that twitter has faltered on.
Would google buy twitter? Or just tap the revenue/ad stream of all social networking sites by building a search engine? There is a reason google leads, their business model bypasses the old eternal growth fornula. Smarter more efficient growth beats quantity.
Check this from Mashable, twave, a twitter/google hybrid! Google is playing nice, they can afford to. Google is the corporate model of the future.
