When I watched the LOST season finale last Wednesday I was trying to find out the answer to the question "What lies in the shadow of the statue" right after the show ended. (During the show, the answer was spoken in a different language)

Google real-time search had picked up the answer from both a TV forum and Yahoo! Answers in about 5 minutes and it took Twitter about 55 minutes before anyone had an answer in the search results. I felt a bit let down by my first usage of "real time" search from Twitter.



All hail John Locke.
