Google searches your social circle for you January 28, 2010

Posted by stephenr in : Search Engine Optimisation, social media , add a comment

The next big trend in terms of searching is now available to try out as a beta – social searching.

Google has  been personalising searches for a while for those with profiles and google accounts. This has been a bit of a pain for webmasters as this alters the ranking of sites in the normal search according to what you actually click on – not what the page contains.

Have a look and see what you think – hot or not?
