Kingpin Excited to See What Google+ does for Google Realtime
According to recent research Google+ has apparently amassed 25 million users since its launch in late June, however the networking site is currently still in the invite only stages. Despite the lack of news regarding its public launch date, there are now rumours that Google will be using the social networking site in conjunction with the not long abandoned Google Realtime function.

According to recent research Google+ has apparently amassed 25 million users since its launch in late June, however the networking site is currently still in the invite only stages. Despite the lack of news regarding its public launch date, there are now rumours that Google will be using the social networking site in conjunction with the not long abandoned Google Realtime function.
Realtime delivered relevant information from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms in order to show you what the world was talking about. The tool was particular useful when major world events were occurring, but due to a failure to come to an agreement with Twitter about the access to their data, the function was removed in July.
Now, according to Google Fellow Amit Singhal the Google search is "actively working" on bringing the product back, reported Mashable. But this time, Google+ would be their main source of data.
There's already been speculation that Google+ will have an impact on SEO work, as users clicking on the "+1" function could affect businesses' search engine optimisation efforts. Kingpin are intrigued as to how Google are evolving the way users search for information, and how that will change the way their SEO work works in the future.
The search panel that Amit Singhal was speaking at in Mountain View, California, also saw Danny Sullivan ask a question that many Google+ users were asking. The panel's moderator and Search Engine Land editor in chief asked why the Google+ stream doesn't have its own search engine. Singhal replied with "we are on it", so we can look forward to seeing that in the near future by the sounds of it.
It remains to be seen how Google will cope without Twitter on their side. A survey of the rise in Tweets after the death of Bin Laden was done and according to the results, within 12 hours, there were 2.2 million Tweets about Osama Bin Laden. "I imagine if the same survey was done for Facebook or Google+ at the time of a major world event, the results could have been quite different", says the SEO agency.
