Google Gears Up to Get You Closer to Mates Around the Globe

Not yet satisfied with the already small global village? Want it to get cozier? Then Google has the answer for you. With the newest function developed in social networking, finding blogs, Twitter and Big Apple uploads of friends will be done in a jiffy. The function, still at the testing stage, will require an individual to submit personal data in a Google profile, which may be considered as the only loophole in the system.

An individual can then extract all the latest net updates by his friends' at a more optimized level, from the Google Labs. The function has a 'social graph' in which only desired people can be added and highlighted, according to priority, by simply altering the settings. This will also enable a person to cut out on people outside his core hive.

Presently only available in English, Google Germany spokesperson Stefan Keuchel has confirmed the fact that this particular function doesn't run on real time. This however, does not hamper the speed of the package. Readers thus, should not confuse this function with the recently launched portal which enables real time searches of Twitter feeds.

With this latest feature to be added, it can be noted that online social networking has come a long way from The Well of 1985 to Twitter, launched in 2009. However, it was with launch of Yahoo! 360° by Yahoo in March, 2005 that social networking became a commercially viable online business component. Thus, Internet technology truly can be used to keep human relations alive, slowly doing away with the constraints of space and time.
