After Google launched Google Instant, a couple of similar websites popped up by independent developers that emulate a similar concept. Google Maps Instant and YouTube Instant was created shortly after Google Instant. YouTube Instant helped Feross Aboukhadijeh get a job at YouTube.

Now there is iTunes Instant. iTunes Instant is a search engine for iTunes that pulls up results as you type in the search bar. Stephen Ou created iTunes instant because “Search within iTunes.app is extremely slow and cluster, I’ve never used it. So I use Apple’s Search API instead, and develop[ed] this app in less than three hours that will make your life better.”

Ou plans to use this service to make money using Apple’s Affiliate links. “If you click on a link and buy an item in iTunes, I will earn 5% commission. I won’t make loads of money, but it does always help,” said Ou.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has launched a new service called Google Instant. Google Instant predicts what you are searching for as you type and finds the results as your are typing. This will help people save a lot of time — about 2-5 seconds per search according to Google.

Even if you don’t know what exactly you are looking for, Google will try to help you predict it by finding commonly searched-for keywords. This is huge for the search engine company because Google.com services billions of queries every day. “Google Instant will save 350 million hours of user time, over a year,” stated Marissa Mayer. This is based on the 2-5 seconds of search query time savings.

Google Instant for Mobile will be launching later this Fall as announced by the company. The company demoed the service on an Android device today.
