If you don’t know what Google realtime search is then you’re not alone, a lot of people don’t. Google’s realtime search is a search engine dedicated to finding information from social media websites like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz.

I find that this move came at the perfect time for Google. Google has been bringing all of the tools together in one place and making them more “social”, and in order to make these tools more useful they needed to provide a way for users to search through these tools.

The only downside that I see right now is that I am not able to narrow down my search by social media tool. For example: If I want to find all posts about Google from only Google Buzz there is no way to do so at this time.

Overall I love the idea of realtime search and I look forward to seeing any changes that they add to this service.

Imagine being able to listen to a book on your Android phone then switch to your work computer then to your netbook at home without skipping a beat. This is one thing that Audible can not do, however if they setup a streaming service then they could have a service similar to how Pandora is setup.

Audible setting up a streaming service would open up a new market to them as well as giving their current users some added benefits. With the new streaming service they would be able to setup a subscription fee for books that the users “rent”. The users would rent the books for half price because they would not “own” the books. This would give the avid readers who do not care about owning a book a way to save money while still being able to read the books they love.

Would you want to have all of your Audible players sync up? Would you prefer the subscription service or do you like the way that it is now?  Let me know, maybe this could make its way to Audible and maybe they would add this feature.

I don’t travel to often so this feature would be very static for me, but for companies like Mashable, New York Times or other online based news services this could be very valuable.

Imagine reading the New York Times or Mashable and being able to view related articles in your part of the country, state or even city? I would love to read a news website where I am able to find information about what is going on around where I live.

This little feature would also make business related blog posts more relevant. If there was a layer on Google Maps where I could see blog posts for different cities then I would also be more inclined to check out new companies. This would also be a HUGE market for Google to get into because, they would be able to offer better targeted ads to companies.

If you could geo-locate your blog posts would you?

Thanks to Buzz being integrated into Maps, a person can create a post on Buzz with geo-location where they found a missing animal or if they are having a garage sale. And anyone who looks on Google Maps or the Nearby feature on the mobile app can find exactly what they are looking for nearby.

This could be even more valuable if there was a better search engine for Buzz and maps which allowed you to search a topic in a set range from your location.

For example: Let’s say I just found a dog that was wondering the street, I bring the dog inside so that I can try to find it’s owner. The dog is not wearing a collar for some reason. So I create a quick geo-located buzz post saying that I found a dog, please contact me on Buzz or here is my phone number.

The person who lost their dog could look on Google Maps, do a search for “found dog” within 5miles from their location. Since I created the post about found dog, they could easily find my post and then contact me about the missing dog.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this would be useful? Would you use buzz like this or am I thinking too far out of the box?

Why can’t more software update as regularly as Google’s Chrome? I love knowing that they are always trying to improve Chrome. Here are some screenshots.

I wonder if more people are going to check out Buzz today because of the little post by @laporte@gmail.com. Today Buzz is actually really showing it’s power in two ways. One is by the numerous users actually trying to help Leo out, and those who are against him. I personally am on the fence about this issue, I have offered some feedback on his buzz post and on the other hand I feel that he should have asked other users first before posting a blog post since he is so very influential.

However, regardless of the issue at hand, thanks to Buzz and it’s threaded conversations people are able to give feedback related to an issue and make it easily accessible. And at no time has there been a fail whale or a slow in traffic on Buzz.

I am pretty bummed today. It seems that people are trying to get more out of social media then a fun tool to interact with. It seems like they are putting all of their eggs in a basket without learning to actually weave a solid basket, causing all of their eggs to fall out.

What I mean here is that like many others, I do use Twitter, Buzz and other social networks as a way to promote my business, which is actually in it’s simplest form, me helping others. But other people who shall remain nameless take it as a means to an end, and that if it doesn’t work 100% all of the time so that they can just shout and hope for a response they throw a fit. This is what bothers me. Not because something wasn’t working for them (I do feel bad about that) but because they aren’t relaxing and having fun. If something is not working, do not whine and complain saying that it is a waste of time, look for a way to fix it. Too many people in this world take things for granted and then get upset. If we just relaxed and tried to fix our own problems or asked for help then things would be a lot less stressful.
