"The new features will be rolling out in the next few days and will be available globally in English. You can try them out today by visiting http://www.google.com/trends and clicking on a 'hot topic,' which in most cases will bring you to a search results page with the new real-time feature." - Tom Stocky

"Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our new partners that we're announcing today: Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca — along with Twitter, which we announced a few weeks ago." - Paul Buchheit

The realtime part seems a little canned though. When I hit reload, the same results slowly scroll in every time: http://www.google.com/search... - Paul Buchheit

Yep. They shouldn't put the "already existing" results in motion. Fortunately, Friendfeed doesn't move down each updates one by one every time you refresh a page :) - Jérôme

The number one Hot Topic is "google real time search." - aldenoneil
