Google Social: search results from people you know
Whoa: search results from people in your various networks based on what they’ve broadcast publicly. Searching for something mundane like “Brooklyn food” (no quotes), I get all these mentions of “Brooklyn” and “food” from people I’m connected to on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Suddenly, that random restaurant someone raved about on Twitter four months ago is relevant again, because the recommendation is right here in my search results.
Once you’re enabled it, search for something. If you don’t see social results after searching, click “Show options…” near the top of the screen and select “Social” under “All results”.
