This is Googles first step in an ongoing effort to make Google Search as social as the web itself, Google social search is an new feature that surfaces public web content from your friends and online contacts. It is currently available on google.com for all signed-in users.
We think the beta rollout to all English searchers is more significant than the initial labs feature, as it exposes the contextual search results to a mainstream search audience. While it’s officially a beta product today, the Google Social Search rollout will occur over the next few days. If you don’t have Social Search already, you can expect to start seeing the social results fairly soon.
