Back in January, Google snuck a new feature into their search results that remained overlooked by many of their users.  The now infamous Social Search<\/strong>. Are you one of those that weren’t aware of the change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well,last week<\/a>,<\/span> this new feature finally went live on Google globally. Despite many largely failed pushes into social media like Buzz, Orkut, and Wave under their belt, I personally believe that this is one move by Google that will stick, for one simple reason: \u00a0it keeps Google within the confines of what they’re trusted to do, and do well- \u00a0search<\/span>.
