Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
An early sneak-peek at Google's real-time search results
Later today there's a big Google event, where we think some big changes to their primary search product will be announced. One of those changes might be the new 'instant search' -- and if you can't wait for the official launch, you can try it out by simply visiting a special URL: http://www.google.com/webhp?sclient=psyWe covered Google's testing of this new feature just two weeks ago, so I'd be surprised if it moves into the mainstream so quickly. I still have no idea how advertising will work; try it yourself! Start typing something commercial like wheel of, and end with time -- see how the ads just disappear?
It is impressively fast, though!
Stay tuned for more Google changes as and when they're announced.

ed note: anyone else remember Long Zheng putting something very similar together ages ago? We thought so. Try his version out here.
Update: And here's the announcement! Google Instant.

The ads updated just fine when I tested it. Every time the search results updated, so did the ads

Seems like a neat feature for people who actually go to google.com to initiate seraches, but for someone like me who does 95% of their searches from the search bar in the top right corner of the browser, it's only seems useful for when I occasionally have to refine my searches.

Sorry, I forgot 'realtime' is another one of their services. This is Google Instant!
