Google focus more on Social search results

Earlier Google introduced Social Search in labs help to find more relevant content (blogs, tweet updates, etc) from your social connections and online contacts. Social search results are specific to you and can be viewed after signing into Google Accounts. Today Social search is available to everyone in Google Beta.

You can filter search results to view only content from your social networks by clicking “show options”. After entering search query [Seattle] Google Social Search includes your friend’s blog, tweets related to the search under "Results from people in your social circle for Seattle". This feature is available in Google Images search.

Also, the two new links for "My social circle" and "My social content" displays content source and how you are connected with the author.

Images with descriptions and labels helped bot to crawl and display in the search results. Some images were not shown in the result due to less information. Now users can include labels to the images and enhance the collection.
