It’s no secret that Google have openly expressed their interest in Twitter and its immense success. So are rumours correct, is Google building a Micro Blog search?

Google have openly discussed their admiration of Twitter and the sites remarkable growth and success. Due to Twitters amazing popularity it was only a matter of time before Google needed to evolve to include Micro Blogging search into the Google’s search results pages.

The Google Operating System Blog has reported that Google will be launching a search service which will index and list Micro Blogging content from sites like Twitter. The Blog does not currently quote a source for this story.  It is expected that the service will be similar in functionality to Google Blog search.  It is also expected that results will eventually be incorporated into the main Google Search Results pages but it is unclear if this will happen immediately.
Google and Twitter have been rumoured to be in talks about a potential search partnership and Google CEO Eric Schmidt has talked about how advertisements could be attached to Micro Blogging services.  In fact Eric Schmidt has been reported as saying a potential partnership would be something that he would be “very happy to pursue with them.”

If Google were to launch a Micro Blog search facility, would potential Twitter Search Users opt to search multiple Micro Blog sites using the Google interface rather than just Twitter? Google’s brand is strong and there is a distinct familiarity to the simplicity of all Google services. The fact that Google would potentially offer a service which would show search results from multiple Micro Blogs does suggest that it would become the first port of call for any Micro Blog Search.

The key here is the immense value data that Twitter provides. Twitter includes real time demographic information about consumer habits, political opinions, news, views and so much more. The potential Marketing opportunities are huge and as such Google cannot ignore Twitter. The search engine industry is very competitive and Micro Blog search does seem to be the next frontier and we can surmise that Google will be at the forefront of any new development.

On Sunday a Google Representative said “While we don’t have anything to announce today, real-time information is important, and we’re looking at different ways to use this information to make Google more useful to our users.”

Well things are all falling into place, Google Open Social was launched over a year ago, this simple API allowed Google Users to sign up to websites as part of micro communities. Open Social has been developing well, but it seemed to have little purpose other than being a great concept. As always it seems Google had other plans and this is where Google Wave Steps in!

Google Wave is a new model for communication, completely rewriting the rule books and changing the very way we communicate using Email, Text, Chat, Blog and Twitter. It will allow all of these methods of communication to directly interact and communicate with each other generating thread based historic conversations.

Google says, “A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. “

“A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.”

“A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.”

Wave is currently available only by invitation and has been opened up to the development community and is expected to be launched later this year. As with all exciting things created by Google, Wave is open source and features a developer’s community. Google has very kindly launched a video which details exactly “What Wave is” and “What it can do”. It’s pretty long but you have to watch it!
