Just like any other search, Realtime results are based on keywords, not URLs. So if you are looking to promote your blog, press release or website, be sure to include relevant keywords in your tweets/updates/posts.

The interface for the engine showed a live, descending "river" of posts in the main region (which could be paused or resumed), while a bar chart metric of the frequency of posts containing a certain search term or hashtag was located on the right hand corner of the page above a list of most frequently-reposted posts and outgoing links. Hashtag search links were also supported, as were "promoted" tweets hosted by Twitter (located persistently on top of the river) and thumbnails of retweeted image or video links.

This afternoon, Google just announced that Real Time Search is finally coming to search results pages. It's really early on in the announcement, but there's just enough data already to be able to give you a general picture of "what is it" and "how does it work?"
Back in the spring of 2009, Google announce several changes to the familiar SERP interface, including the Options panel and the now popular Wonder Wheel. At the time, Google's Marissa Mayer, Vice President of Search Products and User Experience, mentioned that finding the most recent information (ie real-time search) was now a high priorty for the engine.
