Google Realtime Gone?

Anyone know when or why?

Was proving to be a valuable utility for me, for many actually.

I tried to use it yesterday. Wanted to see how the riots had been orchestrated.

Google have been making amendments over the past week to how the search engine works, as far I knew it was mainly to do with local searches and how the map appear's, It may be affecting how realtime works

I will try and find out, the work I do is in conjunction with Google and Yahoo searches, some of our bods may know........

Just spoke to one of our bods, he's not aware of any changes to what Google are doing that would affect realtime, it's mainly the local search facility the changes are being made. He say's it may have something to do with your system, have ya made any changes lately to ya browser system, or package ya use?

Wikipedia lists the answer here:
Google Real-Time Search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently it was after a deal with Twitter ended

It's a shame, I mean twitter has it's uses in much the same way for me but Google real-time was more accessible for me and drew from a more diverse resource.
