A message posted on Twitter by the team behind Google Realtime says, “We’ve temporarily disabled google.com/realtime. We’re exploring how to incorporate Google into this functionality, so stay tuned.” Google had launched the real time feature almost two years ago, providing information like status updates and other public content from social networking sites such as Twitter. Soon after initial success, Google launched a standalone page, google.com/realtime, where users could specifically find such quick results.
The URL, however, is now displaying a 404 error page that says: “The requested URL /realtime was not found on this server. That’s all we know.”

The Internet is already abuzz with the advent of Google and now eyes are set on Facebook, waiting to see how it deals with this latest maneuver by Google.
