Google release a preview of their latest update last week codenamed CAFFEINE. Matt Cutts put up a blog post with some great information about the changes.

“Google is quite serious about scrutinizing our codebase regularly and rewriting the parts that don’t scale well to make them more robust, more elegant, or faster.”

One thing I did notice while digging into Caffeine, was that many of the results lacked dates when compared to the current Google results. I couldn’t find any real consistency though.

I feel that in my short time with Caffeine that I found better relevancy in the search results and less “SEO garbage”. I’m curious to see if the final push is what we were given a sample of, or a mix of the current and Caffeine. It is almost as if this update is less of a “real time” push, but more of a time to “clean out the garage” push.

Twitter search is great if I want to follow along with a conference or news that is happening right at that moment, but I’ll still stick with Google to do research. I might turn to Twitter search after I find a result that interests me in order to see if anyone has an opinion on the service.

Google is the phone book while Twitter search is the people in my neighborhood I ask for advice.
