My feelings are still up in the air about it. I guess I just need to spend a few days and play around with it.
This Google , called “Search, Plus Your World” update has just become more personal. The new search allows Robot’s to incorporate data from your social network along with public internet, when delivering results of a search.

I hope you really enjoy this infographic that I had made for you:) Read the rest of this entry »
