Continuing to read WebsiteMagazine.com on page 16 with Dante A. Monteverde. He mentions that Google is taking your “public social graph” – the social media that you use and integrate it into their main search results for you to see.
He states that Google is taking everything they know about you from your Google profile, your connections with people and websites from social networks and then creating personalized search results.
To be a part of Google’s experiment you need to access this through your Google account – http://google.com/experimental.
Once you are a part of Google’s experiment you can see the Social Search results 2 ways:
1. at the bottom of any regular results – “Results from people in your social circle for” you will see 2 Google Social Search results
2. perform a search on Google and then select “Show options” feature and choose “Social” you will see the full Google Social Search results
And then you will begin to see how everything ties together. Once you begin to find more connections and friends – you will see how they can help you with what you are searching for. Dante gives more great information – SEO Corner: Google Social Search
Happy “Google”-ing!

Reviewing through WebsiteMagazine.com and looking at page 9 of the February 2010 article, “Wordpress Plugins To Rock The Party” … I just have to share this with you. Plugins – I sure love using Plugins on my website. There is so many out there I know I have just began using some of the coolest ones – but always looking for the best of the best!
Peter Prestipino, Editor-in-Chief mentions:
WP-Cumulus – he explains this as a 3D rotating your tags, categories or both.
Sexy Bookmarks – Share this with the world by using sexy bookmarks
ExplanatoryDictionary – great way to provide users with information without overwhelming them with click here for this and click here for that
Custom Login Page – change the background image of your login page, the background image and color of your login form, the main image of your login page and even add custom CSS
SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam – Just a must for additional anti-spam component
Also I would advise you to visit your dashboard of your site and click on Add New under the Plugins menu and search for each of these so you are obtaining the most up-to-date plugin!
Best of luck!
