Social Marketing Tools: Some New Social Search Twitter Tools From Google

Since introducing real-time search last December, Google has added content fromMySpace, Facebook and Buzz, expanded to 40 languages and added a top links feature to help find the most relevant content shared on updates services like Twitter.

Now, we have more Twitter news from the Chirp Conference. Google just released a new experimental service in Google Labs called Google Follow Finder to help you expand your Twitter network. With Google Follow Finder, simply enter your Twitter account name and you’ll see a list of people you might be interested in following. You can also get interesting suggestions by entering other Twitter user names. Here’s what it looks like:

If you see someone you want to follow, just click “Follow on Twitter,” log in, and they’ll be added to your following list in Twitter. This integration is based on Twitter’s new @anywhere frameworks, which make it easy for any site to add Twitter functionality. Google is using the frameworks to provide dynamic information about Twitter accounts and one-click following. The lists in Google Follow Finder are generated using public following and follower lists on Twitter. For example, if you follow CNN and the New York Times on Twitter, and most people who follow CNN and the New York Times also tend to follow TIME, we’ll suggest TIME as a “Tweep you might like.” The list of “Tweeps with similar followers” is simply a list of accounts with similar follower lists to yours.
