Google Gets Social with Search

Google has recently made some significant changes to its algorithm. What does this mean for you? You are now able to stay more connected with your social circle and help protect your embarrassing social profiles from co-workers and clients. Google first introduced Google social search in 2009 and has steadily improved ever since. Now, there are three ways Google has vastly improved their social search that will keep you more connected with otheres in your social circle.

1.) Social search results will now be mixed throughout your search results, instead just at the bottom like they were previously.

2.) Added notes from people in your social circle that have shared something that you are looking for. For example, if your friend tweeted that they’re going to the royal wedding and you were looking for info on it, their results would show up with a note and their picture.

3.) More control over connecting accounts. You are now able to connect accounts privately in your Google account if you don’t want your co-workers to know your Twitter screenname is @iheartladygaga.
