Google now has a real-time search feature.

What does this mean for Twitter's (brief) reign as real-time search king? What does this mean for social media in general?
I think this can only complement both Google's primacy as The Search Engine and also the usefulness of social media. New content has the potential to reach far more people (e.g. your tweet about Obama's jobs speech could be seen by thousands, not just your 20 followers). Impressive, cool stuff from Google.
