Google is giving Google+ users two enhanced ways to find information disseminating across the social network, with real-time search and hashtags.
“Now when you search in Google+, you’ll see a message about new posts the instant they’re available,” Vic Gundotra, Google’s SVP of social, explained in a post on Google+ Wednesday. “If you click on this message, or select ‘Most recent,’ then relevant posts will start appearing in real-time.”
LinkedIn has acquired IndexTank, a provider of real-time hosted search technology, for an undisclosed amount. LinkedIn and IndexTank say that the acquisition will help improve LinkedIn’s internal search technology.
“LinkedIn has exploded over the past few years, and the search team has done a fantastic job at building world-class technologies to keep up with the growth,” IndexTank founder and CEO Diego Basch said in a blog post. “Of course, this doesn’t stop here and we’re working on the next play.” This growth will continue and perhaps accelerate.”
