Google confirmed the news tweeting, "We've temporarily disabled google.com/realtime. We're exploring howto incorporate Google+ into this functionality, so stay tuned" from its @googlerealtime Twitter account.
The results were quietly removed from Google on July 2 as Google's deal with Twitter came to an end.

While Twitter provided the majority of content found on Google Realtime Search, Google also included sites like Facebook, Google News, MySpace, FriendFeed, Quora, and Gowalla
Google added, "While we will not have access to this special feed from Twitter, information on Twitter that's publicly available to our crawlers will still be searchable and discoverable on Google."

The alternative for users are now mainly focused on Microsoft Bing's Social Search that continues to incorporate real-time results Tweets.

I love Realtime search.
I dont really wanna use the bing one. I dont like Bing..
Never used it personally so I can't say I will miss it.
Don't think I ever used it. Although they mentioned google+ so that's where they're going.
I wont miss this feature.
real time?
i have never used it
Glad. I thought the real time feature with Twitter was stupid. Sure you could see trending topics sort of like a real time memeseach, but it was pointless and annoying to see everyone's stupid and "trying-to-be-clever" tweets about certain issues. Pretty excited for Google+ and can't wait to see how it'll be implemented.
I'm in the same boat as some of the people above. I've never heard or noticed realtime and even if I did know of it, I don't think I would have put it to use effectively.
Realtime was interesting, and I did use it at one time to track people's reaction to an earthquake, but I wouldn't have even noticed its absence (to be honest) if you hadn't mentioned it.
was a cool idea, we will get it back into google+ anyways.
