Google Testing Search with Results from “Your Social Circle”

I noticed this morning that Google is experimenting with their search results yet again as they continue to set the pace for innovation. While signed into my Google account, I searched for “web hosting”. As you can see from the screenshot below, instead of showing the expected news, blog, or book results at the bottom of the 1st page, Google is taking integration and customization to the next level by showing related content from my online contacts. Google is pulling these contacts from Google Reader, Gmail, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, Twitter, and other sources – including more blog platforms than I care to name!
