Realtime Search On Hiatus While Google And Twitter Figure Themselves Out

Sometime on the morning of July 3rd, Google Realtime Search mysteriously went offline and, assuming it was just another example of things breaking on a holiday weekend, most tech publications ignored it.Well as it turns out the reason behind its disappearance was not so mysterious, on July 2nd Google's access to Twitter's special firehose expired and it pulled the feature in order to rethink its strategy. Bing, which had a similar deal with Twitter still has access to the firehose.
