Normally, a typical twitter account can only receive direct messages from its followers provided that it is also following back that person. What sets a business account apart from the usual is its ability to receive direct messages from any of its followers regardless whether or not the account following the user. This feature is a must-have for businesses because as it can improve customer service since dealing with customer feedbacks and issues privately will be a lot easier.

A whopping 6.7 billion tweets is expected to be sent out in January 2011 as predicted by Pingdom based on simple calculations using the previous monthly growth rate of Twitter tweets.

Well, most analysts will not be surprised with this forecast as the massive growth of Twitter in terms of registered users and the number of tweets sent out in a day is clearly evident.

This conclusion by Pingdom was simply formulated using the percentage growth rate over the last six months which shows an almost constant figure of 16% in average creating a smooth curve up. Therefore if this constant 16% growth rate will be maintained each month, it is safe to say that 6.7 billion tweets are bound to kick off by the first month of next year.

The world of social networking is growing enormously big that it can actually grow from nothing to something in just a short span of time. That's how viral social media is. No wonder why a lot of businesses are investing so much to online marketing and promotion as compared to the usual print and TV ads.

Most people nowadays use the internet to find out today's trend or the hottest and latest buzz about someone or something and thus, the birth of real-time search engines. Real-time search engines are the newest form of Internet media that people use today to achieve real-time answers and results.

Of course many are still relying on the traditional search engines that are more of reference websites. Unlike real-time search engines, the traditional search engine provides additional details and information to something that we know about. It provides the user every possible result that it can search all over the web regardless of the age of the link.

Real-time search engines, on the other hand have the ability to scout for status updates, comments and links that people post every day. You use a real-time search if you want to know "what's hot" or popular as of the moment as it gathers information about what others think about a certain topic. Take for instance during the past catastrophes that happened in several parts of the world, updates and news spread quickly because a lot of people have posted updates on Twitter and Facebook,  two sites contributing an important role in real time searches.

Since more social networks are now capable of posting status updates, a lot of real-time information will be posted each day.

Real-time search is catching the attention of people because of its speed and convenience. Not everyone is facing their television all the time to get news updates and information, but most of us frequently have access to the web and carry Internet-capable devices which make it more convenient and fast to get updates about a certain topic or trend.

Two of the world's biggest search engines in the web, Google and Bing, have launched quite a number of improvements and new interfaces on their respective platforms. These changes not only target individuals for their personal use, but also for businesses and campaign groups to better market and advertise their services online.

One of the biggest innovations to these search engines is the addition of Twitter features on their searches.

Because of the overwhelming success of Twitter in the Internet world (which is rank second to the most popular search engines), Google has incorporated Twitter on its search interface. When doing searches on Google, you will be able to dig down on the Twitter archives as well. This is a clever move for Google in widening its pool of resources because Twitter's real time capability will help in providing a better search on Google.

Bing, on the other hand also incorporated Twitter on its search results. They have created a new feature that lets you search tweets from Twitter users. Bing also displays the hottest trends and topics on Twitter.

The search engines are becoming even more powerful and accurate these days because of these merging into other social networking sites. Well as they say, "two heads are better than one."

Twitter, the ever popular microblogging site claims that it already reached 100 million when it comes to its registered users. This number is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years as internet surfing becomes more accessible through mobile devices and wireless technology.

This official announcement was held during Twitter's first conference for developers on Wednesday. Twitter's co-founder, Biz Stone himself broke the silence and emphasized that they have registered 105,779,710 users to date. During Stone's presentation, he also mentioned other statistics like their 180 million monthly unique visitors and almost 300,000 new registrations a day.

Now, as one of the most popular social networking site online, Twitter is now being used by almost anyone, from individuals to corporate groups, even politicians, celebrities and basically anyone aiming to reach out to people anywhere easily and effortlessly.

Surely, there will be a lot more that is in store for Twitter users in the future as a lot of improvements and added services are expected to be implemented on its infrastructure.
