image thumb32 Google is Real Time.. only if you have time to tweak the URL!

There is some way of making Google go real time without the need of Google launching or adding a new feature. All you need to do is tweak the parameters in the URL . When a search is performed the parameters look something like what you see below:

google.com/#q=USA&hl=en&output=search&tbs=rcnt:1&tbo=1&fp=1db3655b1bbc91d8

You can modify these by expanding the options and limit the results to the past month, week or 24 hours. You can go a step beyond by even reducing the search result time to minutes and seconds too by simply making a few changes to the parameters. For example the result below limits the search to the past 2 minutes with a simple tweak:

google.com/#q=USA&hl=en&output=search&tbs=qdr:n2&tbo=1

Here n is for minutes, h is for hours and s is for seconds. Sounds impressive, but I guess I am not taking the burden of doing all that tweaking and would stick to Twitter for real time-ness.
