Google isn't an exception: it launched a formal Social Search component to its search engine in 2009 and has updated it regularly since then. With Social Search, people can link their Google accounts to their social media accounts and have Google incorporate relevant content from their social circle into search results.

At the event, both Kevin and I will be speaking to the CIOs in attendence on enterprise mobility. Like most of Kevin's discussions in his mobile enterprise expert series, the topics covered in the interview were vast and his questions relevant to CIOs globally. Given that many European organizations are looking for best practice guidance across a range of issues related to mobility today, i felt it worthwhile to include a transcript of our discussion below. The full interview is available at Kevin's blog here.
