Real Time Web & Googles Woes

I just read an interesting article which talks about real time web searching and it's impact. It makes me think how well google is prepared for this. I have seen a spate of new services being introduced by google to get social mileage.... Now the only question left is will google decide to buy twitter? or will twiiter outlast any potential buyout?

One another thing to note is mobile friendly apps supplementing these social networks are on the rise adding to the networks popularity and usage.
