When it comes to social networks, Google has not managed to garland itself in too much glory. Critics suggest Google doesn't quite understand what makes people buzz.

And yet an interesting report has emerged that says Google might be using an event at SXSW this evening to launch--or, at least, preview--a new social network.

According to ReadWriteWeb, Google's social network is to be called Circles. At its heart it purportedly has something that seems crucial in today's socially networked world--privacy.

The idea seems to be that this social network will allow you to share every part of your being--namely status updates, photos, and videos--with a very specific group of friends (hence the name "Circles"), rather than with the great unwashed and unfiltered.

The report suggests that Google might be at least offering a sneak peek of this concept tonight, at an event co-hosted by the ACLU, an organization that feels there is nothing mutually exclusive between privacy and freedom.

Philosophically, it would appear that this idea recognizes the fundamental truth that we are not one personality to everyone. As we connect to different social groupings, we offer a different side of ourselves--the side that we feel most comfortable showing to that group.

It will also put additional pressure on Google to consider even more carefully its own attitude to privacy, given such difficult snafus as the "Oops, we appear to have recorded some e-mails over Wi-Fi" incident.

Google Inc's Android software will become the World's No. 2 operating system for cell phones by the end of 2010, surpassing rival offerings from Microsoft Corp, Research in Motion and Apple Inc, according to a new report.

Google's Android software, which it offers free to cell phone vendors, has experienced dramatic growth since two years.

The market for mobile phone software has become a 'battlefield' for technology companies, as consumers increasingly use their phones to access the Internet, listen to digital music and play video games. More than 200,000 Android phones, from various companies like Motorola, Samsung etc., are sold every day.

It is no secret that Google wants in on the whole social media market, they tried with Google Buzz but things have not worked out like they had hoped. However, this has not deterred the search engine goliath and there are fresh rumors of a new service called Google Me. Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg was the first to report this.

Rose started the whole Google Me rumors off when he mentioned late Saturday evening that Google were to offer a new service – one that will compete with Facebook. We do not think that Facebook is too worried, but they should be if Google uses its might and its knowhow to launch a perfect social media service.

Both Google and the social networking giant has refused to comment, but there has to be some truth to the rumor – it would be unwise for us to assume that Google would allow Facebook to have all the glory.

According to Jeremy A. Kaplan from Fox News Google already have a number of components already in place – such as Google Profiles, Buzz and Latitude. Do you think that if Google Me were real would it be able to compete with Facebook?

Google Inc. said Tuesday it will stop automatically rerouting users of its China search site to its Hong Kong site after Beijing said the company would lose its mainland internet licence if the tactic continued.

Google shut down its China-based search engine March 22 to avoid co-operating with the communist government's internet filtering and has rerouted users to its unfiltered site in Hong Kong. But Google said regulators told the company its internet licence, which expires Wednesday, would not be renewed if that continues.

"They made it clear to us that they did not think the redirect was acceptable," said a Google spokeswoman, Jessica Powell. She declined to say what reasons the government gave for its objections.

On a company blog, Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, said Monday that Chinese authorities told the company "if we continue redirecting users our internet content provider licence will not be renewed."

Google still operates a music download service and several other features on Google.cn that are not affected by filtering regulations and Powell said it wants those services to continue.

Hong Kong site has no filtering

Instead of automatically being switched to Google.hk, visitors to Google.cn now see a tab that says in Chinese "We have moved to google.com.hk." Users can click on that tab to move to the site in Hong Kong, which is a Chinese territory but has Western-style civil liberties and no internet filtering.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Qin Gang, said he had not seen Google's announcement and could not comment on it. However, he added, "I would like to stress that the Chinese government encourages foreign enterprises to operate in China according to law."

Google's announcement in January that it no longer wished to comply with Chinese internet filtering was an embarrassment for communist leaders, who want foreign companies to help develop China's technology industries.

Google was the last major foreign internet company to operate its own China-based service and people in the industry are watching to see whether communist authorities allow it to continue operating other services.

Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., also hopes to keep a research centre in China, an advertising sales team that generates most of its revenue in the country and a fledgling mobile phone business.

Google Inc. will open a web applications store later this year in an attempt to make it easier to find and establish programs in the Internet search leader's Chrome browser.

The online store, preview Wednesday at a conference for the Google software programmers, seem to be well suited for lightweight laptops called "netbooks" that will rely on an operating system orbiting the Chrome browser. The Chrome OS netbooks will not have hard drives and the internet to run programs.

These cheap computers are scheduled to be on store shelves in time for the holiday shopping season.

Google has not set an exact date for the opening of its new programs, or "apps", store, saying only that it will be available for the more than 70 million users of Chrome browser by the end of the year. The company is already an apps store for her Andriod software that runs a wide range of smart phones.

Big news expected to come on Thursday in the Google developers conference. It is when the company is expected to announce it is working with Sony Corp., Intel Corp. and Logitech International to make it easier to search and view online at flat-panel TV.

Internet-connected television is expected to rely on Android operating system and use Chrome as their browser.

Although steadily grown in popularity since the 2008 debut, ranks Chrome browser is still far behind Microsoft Corp. 's Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox also paths.

Google's Web Apps Store can also provide fodder for a tablet computer to compete with Apple's IPAD. Verizon has acknowledged it is working with Google on an IPAD alternative, even though Google has said little about this work.

Apple says IPAD users have downloaded more than 12 million applications from his store, because this computer is in early April debut.

Like Apple, Google will offer free programs, while other applications may require a fee.

In Wednesday's preview showed Sports Illustrated Magazine, that people might want to download an app from Google stock instead of visiting a website.

The Sports Illustrated app duplicates the look of the magazine, while offering a wide range of interactive features. Among other uses readers to rearrange the pages to suit their taste, calling up the statistics and click on the video reinforce the themes of the articles without leaving a page.

As many magazines and newspapers, Time Warner Inc. 's Sports Illustrated hope that smartphones, tablet PCs and other mobile gizmos will spur more sales of subscriptions and advertisements to offset declining revenue from print editions.
