A New Social Blog by Google

Trying to keep up to Google scholar is hard enough. I began this blog with that lofty goal in mind but at some point started to comment on all things Google.

Now, only into our sixth week of 2009, it seems obvious the search giant isn’t hibernating this winter (or during the recession). New products are coming and going as fast as you can say Obama! (See Google labs).

Yesterday (I think) Google announced a new blog – called Google Social blog – to cover “News and updates about Google products that are helping to make the world more social.” This is apparently Google’s 80th official blog. 

“We are launching this blog for anyone interested or involved in helping to make the web more social. Whether you own a site and want to add social features to increase community engagement, or you’re developing a great social application, this blog is for you.” (See yesterday’s gpeerreview, for an example of what Google is facilitating for the developer community.)
