Google Social Search Goes Live!!

Aug. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Think about it this way, next time you plan a trip to Kerala or Jaisalmer you will not only get to see what Google has to say in term of must see places or must eat cuisines but what your friend Rahul has to say about the must sees or must eats! You can find his blog posts on all searches which probably mean a whole lot more to you than any information search result ever will!

We at Adglobal360 are astounded by all the implications! Before your next holiday if you plan to visit the book shop to pick up some good reads, you may want to run a quick Google search on the same and get to see what your friend circle has to say about the books they think are good reads. All the information that appears as part of Google Social Search is published publicly on the web — you can find it without Social Search if you really want to. What Google has done is surface that content together in one single place to make your results more relevant. The way its done is by building a social circle of your friends and contacts using the connections linked from your public Google profile, such as the people you're following on Twitter or FriendFeed. The results are specific to you, so you need to be signed in to your Google Account to use Social Search. If you use Gmail, Google will also include your chat buddies and contacts in your friends, family and coworkers groups. And if you use Google Reader, they will include some websites from your subscriptions as part of your social search results.

Wondering what exactly we mean when we say Social Circle? Well, your social circle is essentially a group of connections including these contacts:

*People in your Gmail (or Google Talk) chat list
*People in your Friends, Family, and Coworkers groups in your Google contacts
*People you're publicly connected to through social sites, such as Twitter and *FriendFeed, that appear on your Google profile or in your public Google Buzz stream.
*People you’re following in Google Reader and Google Buzz
*People who are connections of those in your immediate, public social circle. This means that if you have a friend on Twitter, and he follows five people, those additional five people may also be included in your social circle.

If you're signed in to Google, you might see social search results for a particular search at the bottom of the results page under "Results from people in your social circle." All the content shown within Social Search is publicly-available online through Google and other search engines. Social Search highlights content from your social circle to provide a personalized search experience.

Here are some of the types of content you might see:

*Websites, blogs, public profiles, and other content linked from your friends' Google profiles
*Web content, such as status updates, tweets, and reviews, from links that appear in the Google profiles of your friends and contacts.
*Images posted publicly from members of your social circle on Picasa Web and from websites that appear on their Google profiles
*Relevant articles from your Google Reader subscriptions
