Google Social Circle - How to use it?

Apparently you already noticed the new section in the bottom of Google search results, called "My Social Circle", which provides social activity of your connections relevant to your query. You can also look at how much Google knows about you and your online connections through the next to social results "My Social Circle"

You'll marvel when first look at the list of your social circle, mine was just tremendous! The page also provides information of your circle online destinations and Google - NonGoogle services your connections use.

The list contains people you talk or chat with using Gmail or Google Talk, plus your social networking connections from a Twitter and other services. For each person in your circle, it then shows the services they use, and also their blogs and other streams. Quite a lot of information from the first glance, so how to use it for your benefit. Here is some good ways:

1. Check what you're sharing and who you share with - Social Circle allows you to see all connections you're making public on your Google profile, so you can check if there are connections you don't want to be associated with, you can easily filter them.

2. Find new connections through 2nd degree - There is a "Secondary connections" section on top. Like in LinkedIn you can find new interesting people to follow through your first connections.

3. Find new information, blogs, and services - there are many interesting people within your network, so it might be a good idea to look at what services they use, and what they write about. If you follow a Social Media guru on Twitter you can also check his blog and buzz thread.

Hope we can find more use of Social Circle, and Google it wouldn't abandon it as it did with Wave!
