Apparently, Google has ideas of it's own regarding Social Searching:

Google Rolls Out Social Search Globally

It always amazes me how competing companies always seem to come up with the same innovations at the exactly the same time. :rolleyes:

    So, I'm lost on what it does actually. Is it to look for someone? To post something??
    Reading and it just says it's live and that I can check "up-to-the-second social updates, news articles and blog posts".
    Ugh, the web is too much sometimes! One big 'ol distraction these days. Gotta be strong. haha "If you like this, than you will like...this!!" Half the day is spent on threads

    Curious to know what this google thing actually does. <-- sucker

    I actually posted a thread a few days about the Bing/Facebook social search mash-up, but it's gone now, for some reason.

    This article explains a bit more in-depth, but it's not near as informative as the other was. If I can find it, I'll post it back here.

    This explains a bit more, though:

    Ironic that Google insists on original content when none of their own ideas are original.

    Many seem to think Google is innovative. In reality, virtually everything they've done was done by someone else before.

      Google is just very good at improving and repackaging, or outright buying out and taking over other company's products/services, but they have definitely made themselves a powerful force to reckon with, that is for sure. I have to admit, though, I'm a Google-meister. There are very few of the Google 'extras' I don't use, and I know how to utilize them very well.

      In fact, I would think a solid 75% of people don't know about anything other than the search engine, email and maps. Even most supposedly 'advanced' users usually don't know more than 1/4 of its available features.

      Actually, for those who may not know about the Google 'extras', check out this page, and this isn't even a complete list:

      If Google dropped out of site tomorrow, I would be lost, I have to admit. :p

      It seems like I read somewhere that Bing had patented the 'social search model', though, so I wonder how Google will be allowed to do this. Considering 75% of the people on the internet use Google, Bing and Facebook would be seriously limiting the social search model and its practicality by not allowing Google to play.
