iphone FTW! google and apple should team up and fuck microsoft up

[FreeMovieCritic]

wow This is great!! I personally love swagbucks tho, i have some tips if yoru interested, but great video love it ty for sharing it with me

[moneydepp]

In my opinion this should be the first wrong step for google !!! after facebook and twitter internet needs anti socializing program... all the crap users share among each other can seriously harm your Intelligence !!!

[WendeliusHA]

Nice to see a fellow Belgian working at Google. :)

Looks like a useful feature and will look into integrating my social network to my searches too.

[smallbizonlinecoach]

This might be a game changer. very cool

[Chrisiaut]

google nach einem solchen jemand!

[utubedano]

I ♥ Google... Google rocks! Google RULES!

[bluehawaii1671]

oh, seems I'd done it already : )

[bluehawaii1671]

looks cool. but how can I participate google profiles at the first step. cant find it :/

[Olliitube]

i think she speaks dutch :p lol

[Olliitube]

Heymans is a typical family name in belgium...she speaks dutch/french or even a small chance for german...

if you give some information on youtube comms, then please do at least give a full answer x] (i'm belgian..)

[MrGouwenaar]

watch the green URL under the friend :Neha Narula ( ore something like that)

@ 1:40

WTF , Google is producing porn ? =P

[Monkeyshouts]

Isn't it a french accent?

[amaeru]

Yes it is, she is from belgium

[zelracch]

where do you work? kevin235r?

[franciscohm]

Because she writtes code without accent or insults.

That's what matters for Google.

[eurominet]

Hmmm if I need to know my friends' feelings about something, I just need to pick the phone, or to chat, or send them a mail.

And I'll have more details than any review.

[okazionaut]

Congrats for this - mixing general ranked info with my friends input (as I always trust & value my friends opinions more than a stranger's input - especially in a emotional intensive context) Improve a bit the contextual relevancy (as todync noted) like: if I am selecting the restaurant based on my taste buds, I'll look for opinions of those having taste buds like mine, but if I choose a restaurant where my friends had a great time, I'll go for the Social Search thing. Nice job Google!

[OpticalFascism]

"NO! I can click through that review!"

[BoogsterSU2]

Gr8 idea! Better than the Beta channels, and I hope I can manage my Tweets while surfing the web!

5/5

[johnanth]

LOL Maureen's friend says Google Sync is useless. What a triumphant way to show off your products, Google!

[AndySan]

Great idea!!

I tried it out a couple of minutes ago, and it was a little buggy, but I'm sure with time it'll improve. After all, it was just released today right?

[coijoi]

nice

[wwymore]

Wow, Maureen Heymans, you did an excellent job of sharing this Great new feature!

Thank you!

[MJMaximum]

Cool stuff.

[JayGlogovsky]

I love this new innovate idea. I believe this has the ability to shut Bing up for a while. But one thing I found interesting listening to another video about this, Facebook hasn't been mentioned yet. That is critical! Other than that... GO GOOGLE!!!

[HerrBismarck]

Actually, in 0:46 you can see her facebook account in her Profile page.

So I think that Facebook is in it.

[JayGlogovsky]

Awesome observation, thank you. I know Facebook and Google haven't announced a deal yet like Twitter. I am hoping for that soon.

[franciscohm]

I guess there is a technical issue: Facebook is mainly private, so I guess it is more complicated to extract info i a safe way.

[TBVnBIX]

awesome thing, sadly my social circle are only junkeys and gays - not much to learn from them

[monjimike]

first

[TheFlyingCookies]

hm... very interesting.. could be useful in the future

[carlenn2008]

at the start did she say a quick demo of how it 'woks'?

[bridobrido]

She 'woks' for Google as a technical lead, what have you accomplished in your life to be so pompous? Right...nothing, because you wouldn't be leaving such a pointless comment in the first place.

[todnyc]

ok, i'll offer up my own more constructive comment, which is that you (meaning anyone) would have to trust your friends' judgment and their work SOOOOOOO much in order to use this service. i'd rather read the general reviews of restaurant rather than a friend's reviews (he or she might have totally different taste than i do; just because it's my friend doesn't mean anything).

[todnyc]

also, who's to say that my friend's photos of a vacation spot are somehow the best or most useful? i'd rather just use Google Images or Flickr and get the bet professional, commercial, or artistic ones.

[Nemo1181]

If a restaurant learns that (they usually do) someone is there to review the place then they will put in a little more effort for a positive review. Whereas your friends review might show how the restaurant normally operates food and service wise.

Photos. Your friends may have found a spot thats not well known. Why? Because everyone has a different view of whats "good". It never hurts to look at your friends photos.
