Google Becomes More Social

Back in September when Techcrunch initially reported about Google’s OpenSocial project, Google’s intention was clear: “Google seems to be planning to add a social layer on top of the entire suite of Google services.” Over the course of the weekend, Google release two relatively significant upgrades to their services: social reader shared items and Google profiles. The two services are extremely basic but are a first step toward a more social Google.

Within Google Reader you can now view each of your friends’ shared items.
