Google rolled out a new experiment on Google labs known as Google Social Search that helps you find more relevant results from public content of your friends and contacts from your Google profiles. To enable this feature, you have to login with your Gmail account and go to Google experimental page and enable the Google Social Search. This video demonstrates how you can find relevant contents with Google social search and how Google social search works. Since Google introduced Google public profile page back in April 2009, I have added many social networking sites i am using, in my Google profile account. Now I can get the tweet or status updates or even photos result from Flickr or Picasa of my contacts and friends bottom of Google search page after enabling Google Social Search.

Google Wave, a promising online collaboration and real-time communication tool from Google that I have been waiting for is now in my browser. I heard from some news in these days that it is second round invites send by Google. Luckily that I got the chance to use it today. Google Wave interface is pretty similar to Gmail interface and it has Navigation, Contacts, Wave preview and Wave panels. Every new wave you created can be shared to any contact in your contacts list. They can share, reply with rich text html, links, embedded video like Youtube, photos and map in wave. For me, it is hard to describe what it is. But it seems like Google try to organizes email system with chat, documents, photos and extensions with sharing capability. I got 8 invitations in my Google wave account just to nominate for next round. (Remember the invitation is just to nominate so you won’t be able to use Google wave directly but you have more likely to get to access Google wave next round.) Anyone of you interested to test Google wave, please leave your comments here so that I will sent invitations to you.
