Social searching from Google
Google has unveiled another form of search. It’s social searching.
More easily find relevant blogs, reviews and other public content from your social circle.
Sign in to Google and do a search. If there’s relevant web content written by people in your social circle, it will automatically show up at the bottom of your search results under a section called “Results from people in your social circle.”
To see even more social content you can click the “Show options” link at the top of the results page and then click on the “Social” link.
What is your social circle? It’s a combination of your Gmail chat buddies, your Gmail contacts friends, family and co-worker groups, and people you’re publicly connected to on other social sites (such as Twitter and FriendFeed).
More about Google Social Search is at Search Engine Watch. Also, Danny Sullivan discusses the service at Search Engine Land.
