Come back next week to learn more about what we have been reading and learning. Alternatively follow us on Twitter or Facebook for quicker, real-time updates!

So it seems that it’s actually happened - for all the talk about Caffeine and other updates - today we’re seeing some REALLY interesting and also odd results. We’ll post a full review about this later. I don’t want to start doing the obligatory ‘SEO will be changed forever!’ sky-is-falling routine. But for now, check out these screen shots. And if you want to see it for your self first, check these out: Obama Microsoft Southwest

Notice that when searching for seomoz we get two tweets right at the top which automatically update when there are any new tweets. Click here to see the above results.

Look at Microsoft below - scroll down just a bit, and you’ll see an auto updating ticker of tweets - some positive, and some negative! Click here to see for yourselves. See it?

Also interesting is that this won’t show up for brands with a space in between, but if typed together, there’s more of a chance of the real time search results (or ‘latest results’ as Google has labeled it) will show up. This is probably to due with twitter usernames.

Take a look at the following - cocacola or coca cola do not show latest results on page 1. However searching for ‘coke‘ will (even though twitter/cocacola is the official brand). So essentially it’s not about only the username - perhaps about a certain threshold of social mentions, in or out of the username.. hmmmm.

Some Other REALLY Weird Results

Am I the only other one seeing this? Really screwed up displays of adwords PPC ads? Hmm by the time I wrote this post - it seems like they’ve fixed the error - looks like those ‘latest results’ are changing lots of things rapidly
