Facebook Connections – Not With Google
With Google rolling out all of this emphasis on the social web, it’s rather shocking that there is no usage of Facebook connections, as it is certainly available for Google to use.
What’s also interesting is how Google is leaving the beta label on the social search, despite the fact they feel like it’s something people want to use – today, now.
Are we to believe that social media is truly where search is headed? Despite Google’s instance that there is still much to do in this arena, I believe that social search is best for trend spotting, perhaps some news discovery. But it lags behind in comparison to typical search.
