Google updates Social Search

Google is constantly trying to improve their search engine, and recently, Google has added several social search engine changes, so let’s have a look at them.

Now when you perform a search on Google while you’re logged into your Google account, you’ll see social search results along with your standard search results. This improved search will show you links related to your search terms posted by the people you know on other social sites such as Twitter and Flickr.
Below the social search results you’ll also see the name and the picture of the person that posted it, so you can get more information directly from that person. This is a great way to get information from the people that you know and trust, so it’s definitely worth checking out.
This new improvement looks promising, and we have to notice that you cannot search Facebook in order to find relative information, but despite that, I reckon its still worth checking out.

The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
