Google Replay to allow search of old Tweets

Google have announced a brand new feature that will allow users of social networking site Twitter to search a public archive of Tweets efficiently, the service will be named Google Replay.

Service will help greatly to archive the billions of status updates made in Twitter from the millions of users registered with the site.

To date the Twitter search had been struggling a great deal to even show users Tweets from a month ago due to such massive demand and use on the site.

This new search feature created by Google will help archive and search of both Tweets and status updates. Twitter are currently receiving 50 million Tweets every day worldwide, over the course of a month this is incredibly overwhelming in terms of data, Google’s new archiving system will help to rectify this.

At the moment Google Replay can only search through a months worth of Tweets but Google have announced that in the future it will be able to search through all Tweets since the inception of the site in March 2006. This will include Tweets from the specific user or from other users that they may be following.

Google Replay will also offer a timeline which will allow users to choose a specific year, date or time in which they are looking to find a Tweet.

This could prove to be a rather handy service and is another example of co-operation between Google and Twitter after Google ensure that real-time Tweets would be available in their search.
