So Google Social Search is the big topic again lately because of their recent blog post Introducing Google Social Search: I finally found my friend’s New York blog!
Here is what they had to say about their new experiment:
“Your friends and contacts are a key part of your life online. Most people on the web today make social connections and publish web content in many different ways, including blogs, status updates and tweets. This translates to a public social web of content that has special relevance to each person. Unfortunately, that information isn’t always very easy to find in one simple place. That’s why today we’re rolling out a new experiment on Google Labs called Google Social Search that helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle. It should be available for everyone to try by the end of the day, so be sure to check back.”
So the question is, Is Google Search On or Off the Mark?
I think they are making good strides but it seems slow. I talked to my good friend Dave Harry about Google Social Search and this is what he had to say:
“I think it’s interesting… but still has a ways to go… but certainly can’t be ignored as far as what they’re looking to do. I think Google Wave would work well with it also…soooo… might be tied together…”
