Utalkmarketing.com reports today that Google has launched Social Search facility that enables users to discover publicly available web content from their social circle online.

Currently still in its experimental stage, when using Social Search users will sometimes see a special set of "Results from people in your social circle" towards the bottom of the results page.

These social results include relevant websites, blogs, status updates, and other publicly-available content from users' online friends and contacts.

As a social networking user, will this help you find relevant content online? Or, are you able to find said content easily on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube?
