Posted by CPC_Andrew on August 26, 2010 in Strategy

Google introduced a new standalone search page today with the launch of Google realtime. It lets you view entire Twitter conversations and filter results by location. If you’re an e-commerce merchant this provides a tool you can use to track how customers talk about your company.

Want to know what people are saying right now? We’re excited to introduce a new home and new tools for Realtime Search. Now you can filter results by location, see full conversations from Twitter, and get Alerts for Realtime Updates via email. Learn more and try it out at http://www.google.com/landing/realtime/ – what will you search for?

Three things you can do with Google realtime:

Track down and befriend disgruntled customers.
Provide on-the-fly customer support.
See what people are saying about your competitors.
