Google: We're Losing to Twitter in Real-Time Information

According to Google’s co-founder Larry Page, Twitter has them beat in the race to meet web user’s demands for real-time information – by a long shot.
Instead of gearing up for some heavy competition in this market, Google’s Search Engine Chairman and Chief Executive, Eric Schmidt, has hinted towards them becoming a partner of Twitter. “People really want to do stuff real time and I think they [Twitter] have done a great job about it,” said Eric Page. “I think we have done a relatively poor job of creating things that work on a per-second basis.”
No official word yet on what the partnership could be, but it’ll surely be an interesting situation to watch.

Google is selling themselves short. Everyone knows it's cooler to update your status in Gmail chat than it is to "tweet" or whatever those homos call it. Gmail all the way.

Use the word homo/gay/fag correctly before someone slings you for it.
