Google search gets even more personal-This is starting to make Google+ even more important

Google is adding the ability to search for personal results, including images in Picasa and Google+ posts. The green arrow points to the Personal Search icon for blended Web and personal results. The red arrow shows where the number of personal results is indicated. And the yellow arrow shows the personal image results.

Google is making search even more personal--mostly by making it even easier to scan for information and photos in Google+ and Picasa.

If I want to find out more information, for example, about Miranda July's quirky new film "The Future," I can go to Google.com and see the usual Web results. But with Google's new "Search plus Your World" feature, I can also see "personal results" that will show me what people I know have said about it. If anyone in my Google+ circles has posted on the topic, their contributions will appear in the results. Any related images friends have posted in Picasa would show up as well...

If you're not on Google+ and need help getting started, let us at Blue Zoo Creative know.
