Sina's
Weibo service, often unfairly referred to as
China's Twitter, has been given the added function of a live search bar.
The live search will allow users, of the popular micro-blogging platform, to search for posts, users, events, groups, votes and
apps, but most importantly the search will be live, updating automatically as more results turn up.
Not only will the
new live search make it faster and easier for Weibo users to keep up to
date, but will also enable Weibo a head start in breaking the latest
news!
Recently Weibo has managed break popular stories to it's users, way before search engines
Baidu or even Google manage to index the content!
