After Bing and Google, Yahoo goes real time

Microsoft’s Bing and Google launched their search innovations over the past weeks, through social search and integrating with Twitter and Facebook. Now Yahoo is doing tests to see if they will go the same route. Search engines are integrating these new tools in search results as they show  more current, almost real time returns rather than material that is more “historical” in nature.
