New Google social media search tool "an experiment"


Google has launched Social Search but claimed that it is in the experimental stages of development.
Consumers have been advised by Google that the organisation's new social media search tool is not yet a finished product.
Technical lead Maureen Heymans and product manager Murali Viswanathan wrote on the official Google blog that the company's Social Search will allow people to find user generated content online.
However, they added: "This feature is an experiment, but we've been using it at Google and the results have been exciting. We'd love to hear your feedback."
The tool uses information from users' Gmail accounts to help make search results more relevant.
Ms Heymans and Mr Viswanathan stressed that the information that Social Search will collect is already available to see online anyway, but they claimed that the application will allow more relevant results to the individual making the search.
This week, Google also announced that it is launching Convert, Zip and Download as part of Google Docs, which lets users download multiple documents at one time.
