Friendfeed aggregates its users’ content on 50 or so social networks and distributes the batch across the timeline. It’s the mother of social media aggregation, so the announcement of its new real time search functionality is far more comprehensive than what Twitter might offer. Now if Friendfeed can only match Twitter’s user numbers…
Users can even embed the real time search engine:

Thanks Pat - so far my favorite feature of FriendFeed is that when people comment on Tweets and posts, there is a coherent stream of messages around that post - it organizes the conversation automatically; whereas with Twitter each reply is mixed in with all of your other friends tweets with no real organization. I think this is driving deeper discussions, but I'm still in the "listening" mode on Friendfeed. Thanks for the real-time search perspective too, will be exploring that as well.
