I started from a search on Bar Refaeli and never looked back!
Didn’t manage to find scoopler useful for anything other than realtime search, and twitter search still covers realtime far better (assuming realtime==twitter ). But you’re right, realtime is surely a problem for Google, since in many ways it’s inherently anti-Google (long tail means authority is useless, age-based ranking is not useful etc.).

Well, it’s because people are starring to innovate, outside of Google, no? Which, in turn, is because many people in Google became “fully vested” about 1-1.5 years ago.
I kind of like the “wonder wheel” though. I call it “the babe explorator”.
On a related note, I was googling for something, and then I went to scoopler and actually found better results. Which made me feel sort of 1997. Which made me think “gee, monopoly isn’t necessarily a bad thing”.
