Google launches social links (Search Engine Watch)

"Google team NBA.com up live results |". Main | "Critical blocks of TripAdvisor, according to Google sites will benefit users.

Google recently announced the arrival of social links in search results. Google social bonds include the name of your friend, profile picture and a link to their profile content on social sites such as Twitter, YouTube or MySpace.

They look like this:

Google said that the social links are based on the same technology that Google social search. They use your social circle to identify relevant websites and pages of the user.

If, like me, you don't see these links, Google shows you to create a profile of Google and add links to your profile to other social sites online you belong therefore Google allows to build your social circle.

Step really sure how this helps the user, who probably already know the people they follow or are friends with on these sites. Just another attempt to get "people to be more connected in Google" and get their hands on more info about you.
