Google is expanding what they include in your social search results based upon sites in your connected sites tab in Google Buzz. Unfortunately for me it won’t pull in my Twitter social graph because I haven’t enabled Twitter in Buzz. Most Buzzers aren’t fond of other users pulling their tweets into buzz as they think it junks up the stream.
we’ll continue to improve social search using links that appear in Google profiles. The changes are rolling out now and should be fully deployed by the end of the week. As always, you can click “more search tools” and select “social” to see more results from your network.

This morning while doing my obligatory email and Facebook check, I noticed that Google was advertising Chrome on Facebook.
This got me to thinking: With all the talk about Facebook bettering Google in such statistics as page views and time on site, there is a reason why this might not be something for Google to cry about too much.
If you are using a Google browser, what difference does it make which website you’re visiting?
Now at 7%, Google Chrome is steadily gaining marketshare but don’t forget about mobile web surfers. We all know the future of the web is mobile and with Android besting Iphone on the mobile web by 7% and growing, odds are good that, in the future, you’ll be using Google even while you’re commenting on your friend’s Facebook wall.
