Google finally joins the real-time search bandwagon and started indexing blogs, Twitter and Facebook updates since Monday.

Google made the announcement at the Computer History Museum in a bid to solidify it’s hold on the search market and to beat Microsoft’s Bing for the real-time crown.

Microsoft effectively beat Google to the real-time punch, announcing Facebook and Twitter partnerships for its Bing search engine at the Web 2.0 Summit in October.

“Google Real Time search is Google’s relevance technology meeting the real-time web,” said Google Fellow Amit Singhal. “There is so much information being generated that relevance is the key to any product, and that’s where Google comes in.”
