The real-time search wars are heating up! Yesterday, Facebook acquired FriendFeed and in return gained a real-time search engine and many ex-Googlers. Rumor has it, Facebook tried to acquire Twitter a few months ago. Twitter's greatest asset IMHO is the ability to search news, interests and topics in real-time. Google answered yesterday's news with a real-time search announcement of its own, a project codenamed, "CAFFEINE." According to Google, "CAFFEINE" will speed up content indexing and improve accuracy.
Users on Facebook will soon be able to search news feeds for the last thirty days. For those of us already accustomed to data overload, smarter tools for content consumption can't come soon enough!
