Google promoted its Social Search experiment to beta status on Wednesday. Social Search adds information and images from users’ public pages to the results of online searches conducted by members of their social network. Users need a Google profile to get results from Social Search. Social has been added to other Google applications like Google Images, so when people with a Google profile conduct a search on images, they may get pictures their friends and other online contacts have published publicly on photo-sharing sites like Picasa Web Albums and Flickr.
