Twitter to Integrate The Discovery Engine Search

Twitter co -founder Biz Stone finally confirm it on Official Twitter Blog that they wish to integrate real time twitter search within twitter home page. They call it The Discovery Engine. There will be a new search feature in the sidebar on Twitter home page, when you do a search, you don’t go to another page; the relevant tweets instantly show up where you’d expect them to right on your home page where tweets love to be.

Interestingly to explain this biz refers to the original sketch which was formed in old fashioned way back in July 2008.

Twitter was initially started as stat.us and there is very exciting story behind it. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey explain it as:

On May 31st, 2000, I signed up with a new service called LiveJournal. I was living in the Sunshine Biscuit Factory in Oakland California and starting a company to dispatch couriers, taxis, and emergency services from the web. One night in July of that year I had an idea to make a more “live” LiveJournal. Real-time, up-to-date, from the road. Akin to updating your AIM status from wherever you are, and sharing it. For the next 5 years, I thought about this concept and tried to silently introduce it into my various projects. It slipped into my dispatch work. It slipped into my networks of medical devices. It slipped into an idea for a frictionless service market. It was everywhere I looked: a wonderful abstraction which was easy to implement and understand.

He made a sketch back in 2000 to explain how this service will look like. Here is that original Sketch, I guess twitter looks very much like this sketch made almost a decade ago.
