Google is doing everything they can to sort through the vast amount of “useless” regurgitated information to deliver the information that is most relevant  to your search, what better way than to include links from your trusted friends or Social Network!

Here is the article

Google Social Search is rolling out, a new service from Google that allows you to easily find material written by people you know and trust. It’s a pretty cool idea, especially in that it’s pretty painless to get started using it. The service will be available through Google Labs Experimental later today.

I attended the Cape Town Google Maps Developer Codelab last week, presented by Jarda Bengi, Google Maps product manager for Europe & Africa.

Jarda announced that Google is currently mapping our major cities and surrounding suburbs. They hope to launch Google Street View in time for the Soccer World Cup which is being hosted by South Africa in 2010

South Africa is being given preference by Google ahead of some other countries due to the major World sporting event being hosted here.

Local business will benefit as consumers start to make use of Google Maps, Google Mobile and Local Search. Again it is important to claim and edit your local business listing in the Google Local Business Center!
