Google launches a more social search
January 11, 2012
Google is launching an update to its search engine called “Search, plus Your World,” says Technology Review.
Google will start adding information that has been shared publicly on Google+ to its search results (private information shared on Google+ will also show to the Google+ users sharing it).
The results could include other, non-Google sources in the future, according to Google fellow Ben Smith.
Some of Google’s social-media rivals are not pleased with the competition, CNET reports — starting with Twitter.
In related news, Google+ users will get free, unlimited access to Google+ on the Wi-Fi network at all O-Zone hotspots across India, Business Standard reports.
