Improvements to Realtime Search
The blogosphere is a dynamic environment that changes almost as quickly as the world that we live in. And as access to information becomes more widespread and more immediate, the blogosphere is steadily closing that gap. That’s why the Blogger Team is excited to spread the word about Google’s new improvements to Realtime Search, which provide richer and fresher results than ever before.
From the new Realtime Search homepage, you can search live updates, recently-published blog posts, and news from around the web in brand new ways. Now you can restrict your search to include just updates from a specific geographic region or just nearby you. You can also check out complete conversations from Twitter. You can also now set up custom alerts for Realtime updates to be sent directly to your inbox once a day or week, or as soon as the happen for instant blog post fodder.
For more information about Realtime’s new features, please visit www.google.com/landing/realtime.

Blogger's 11th Birthday Fiesta is Almost Here
Posted by Seth Shamban, Blogger Consumer Operations
It’s only five days away, and we hope that you’re as excited as we are about the
200+ Meetups that are happening around the world. We’re looking forward to your meetups, and seeing your photos, videos, and tweets from the event.
We don’t want to leave the best parties empty-handed, so starting tomorrow we will be sending out some Blogger birthday presents to some of the largest Meetups around the world. We can only send presents to Meetups that have organizers, though, and there’s still lots of fiestas that are organizer-less. It’s super easy and any one can do it, so if you volunteer you may be able to secure presents for your local Meetup.
For those of you who haven’t yet joined one of our Meetups, there’s still time! As a reminder, here’s the important details for the event:
If you have any questions about the Blogger Fiesta Meetups, head over to our
official invitation.
We look forward to our first ever global meetups on the 31st!
