I got lucky to use this while it was in private beta - author is HN user webmonks. Would love to hear feedback on this.

I like this better than the way Twitter was integrated by Google on Search:

1. It is not inbetween search results. It doesn't distract esp since the plugin isn't smart right now to distinguish query as worth for "real time" results

2. It always gives the real time results. We had mild tremors couple of months ago and this would instantly confirm when I searched.

I don't like tweets from other languages crowd the results sometimes, but it is just as smart as twitter search :)

I do miss real-time search. Unfortunately, I get an error when trying to add the extension through the Chrome Web Store.

Ubuntu 12.04 (w/ GNOME 3) / Chrome 22.0.1229.94

Error: "Package is invalid. Details: 'Could not load extension icon 'images/128x128.png'.'."

hi danhoc01,

am the developer of HashPlug. I received couple of other reports on the same issue. Seems like Linux only issue. Will look into it today and get back.

thanks for reporting.

Install the extension and search for 'elections' and look the updates runaway. You might actually forget to look at the search results.

It works great! Very helpful for people who work on real time data on day-to-day basis.
