                A LOOK AT GOOGLE SOCIAL SEARCH




                Overview
                With Google Social Search you can carry out search based on
                content published by your friends and contacts.

                Important dates
                26 October 2009. Google Social Search goes live. But only as an
                opt‐in Google Labs feature.
                27 January 2010. Google Social Search is released in beta status, and
                becomes a standard feature on Google.com for signed‐in users

                Features (highlights)
                My Social Circle: shows your extended network of online contacts
                and how you're connected.
                My Social Content: shows your published content as it appears in
                other people’s social search results.
                Google Images: you can view pictures from contacts in social circles

                How does Google Social Search find content?
                Mainly through your social Google profile. You can select what
                informa on you want to share.

                Facebook
                One of the most conten ous issues with Google Social Search at the
                moment is that most Facebook content is outside the reach of
                Google Social Search. Google has expressed an interest in indexing
                and returning Facebook status updates in its search results. But it’s
                not up to Google as this is part of a bigger issue concerning
                Facebook and its approach to members’ privacy in general.

                Any Good?
                I found everything I wanted / expected, really, in its features. The
                Facebook issue has to be, surely, significant to the overall appeal of
                Google Social Search in general.

                The main Google Social Search Demonstra on video
                (here: h p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqWJxgp‐_mU) did make
                me think about social search in general. The video brings up the
                scenario of visi ng another country, and finding out what content
                your friends have published on that subject. Sure, this is an
                interes ng use for Social Search, but it made me think that people
                are s ll going to depend a lot more on tradi onal, algorithmic
                search (i.e. Google takes them to a website such as Lonely Planet, or
                to web sites where travellers in general recount their experiences


1 of 2                                                                                                                             4/14/2010 1:36 PM
http://nitinmaximumhit.blogspot.com/2010/02/look-at-google-social-searc...   http://nitinmaximumhit.blogspot.com/2010/02/look-at-google-social-searc...


                etc ..) than social search for a par cular topic like this. In their next
                example, they discuss finding informa on about moving from
                blackberry to iPhone. I would have thought it would be much more
                effec ve – for people in general – to use tradi onal search to find
                good advice on such an issue. Lastly, they give an example of using
                Social Search to find out informa on about local restaurants. Of the
                three examples, this, I thought was the best one (surely,
                recommending restaurants – and other similar types of local
                businesses ‐ is very usual amongst friends in life in general?).

                How will Google Social Search fare in the world of business? The
                demonstra on video didn’t refer to its use in a business
                environment at all. I can imagine people in businesses seeing
                Google Social Search as, poten ally, another channel for marke ng
                their business (compared to those who use social media for
                personal use and are more apt to keep their content private –
                between friends) as well as being a useful search tool in general.
                But it’s early days yet to say anything more concrete than that.

I would have thought it would be much more effec ve – for people in general – to use tradi onal search to find good advice on such an issue. Lastly, they give an example of using Social Search to find out informa on about local restaurants. Of the three examples, this, I thought was the best one (surely, recommending restaurants – and other similar types of local businesses ‐ is very usual amongst friends in life in general?). How will Google Social Search fare in the world of business? The demonstra on video didn’t refer to its use in a business environment at all. I can imagine people in businesses seeing Google Social Search as, poten ally, another channel for marke ng their business (compared to those who use social media for personal use and are more apt to keep their content private – between friends) as well as being a useful search tool in general. But it’s early days yet to say anything more concrete than that. 2 of 2 4/14/2010 1:36 PM
