Google’s Next Generation Search • Larry Page on Google’s integration of Google+ into the next generation of searchInvestor Relations blog • “Today, most search results are generic, so two strangers sitting next to each other in a café will get very similar answers. Yet everyone’s life experiences are unique.” • “Google+ helps solve this problem for us because it enables Google to understand people and their connections.” • “This kind of next-generation search in which Google understands real-world entities—things, not strings—will help improve our results in exciting new ways. It’s about building genuine knowledge into our search engine.” • The message is clear, Google is betting the farm on Google+ and you better too (unless of course you’re just interested in ranking well in Google).
