It's hard to think of a brand more synonymous with Web communication than Google, considering the company's domination of the search market space. But as busy as the Mountain View, CA-based company has been with its new toys as of late -- Android-based phones, new Web advertising initiatives, a customized Web browser -- it's sorely neglected its account on one of the Web's most up-and-coming communication platforms: Twitter, or the "YouTube of real-time search," as suggested by John Battelle.

Combine Twitter's ramping up of its real-time search capabilities with the service's core metrics, nearly 2.7 million U.S. visitors for the month of December 2008 alone, and a potent picture emerges. In addition, the company not only turned down a $500 million offer from Facebook in November, but it's gone ahead and raised an additional $35 million in funding from its venture capital partners just earlier this month.
