Google makes its form more social

Google attempts to enter social networks have been mixed from the Orkut social network to integrating various services Message Buzz. The last step, at the moment only available in the U.S. is to include in the search results relying on the relevance of contacts of the user making the search. That is, besides using the usual search algorithm Social Search created in 2009, this improvement will decide what services they want to integrate the results.

The first novelty is that users will be able to find among the natural results, results that include notes that indicate when your friends, family or coworkers have published or shared some information about what has been searched. Naturally for this to work you must have a Google account and use the form to the account activated.

You decide what additional services you wish to enable the results of actions on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Picassa, Foursquare or Buzz. Thus, if a friend is watching a television program and requested information to Google about it, you will see that the friends are talking about it in real time from their Facebook profile or Twitter.

If you are looking for information about a place, will FourSquare results. As in all services with the intention of being social privacy is a factor to consider. As in the user profile can decide which Google themselves and do not want to share with our contacts. So the user can see what your friends say but if you want, that their actions do not appear on social networks like results.

Another improvement is that if the algorithms are a public account that a user can be consulted before making the connection between the two profiles.
