You want to check out Google Experiments to see what might be emerging in the future. If you do, you just might be tempted to join a new experiment which could change the way some people search for their online content: project Google Social Search.

 

After you've signed into your Google account (creating one is free), you'll have access to this and other key experimental features offered by the site. You can only join one Google experiment at a time, so if you're already trying out a new product, you won't be able to try Social Search. However, you can leave your experiments at any time. It's always an option to leave or re-join any new Google project at will.
