Explain why Google considers the information created in social networks to be so important. M12 Sept 1 nat

Basically, what people do on social networks are; like people's statuses, comment on others' pictures, retweet others' statuses and etc. This can help companies like Google determine what the user might be interested in, as these activities on social networks sites reflect the users' behaviour online. Moreover, we tend to show to other users what you are interested in, (like liking fan pages)therefore a lot of the information companies like Google can get out from these websites are accurate. They can then put sites that they might take interest in at the top (first page), which may be more efficient for the user looking for that information, and the website itself.
