I was recently looking on Google News just to see what some of the latest topics were. I came across this really cool feature called Realtime, which is in beta. This seems like its Google’s version of an agregation tool. You simply search for a topic and anything that comes on the Web, including Tweets, Facebook updates, and articles, a scrolling list will automatically update and scroll with those new updates. I found is very cool to be able to see that latest information that rapidly. If you find that it is going too fast for you, there is a pause button built in.

Of course some people will argue with me about Twitter doing the same thing. However, does Twitter pull in all of those things at once and display it on one clean page?

The next time one of my favorite companies is having an annoucement, like Apple, I will simply open up a Google Reatime page and search for Apple.

Try it out… and let me know what you think.
