Archive all of your social data for your Twitter and Facebook accounts in your own database and make it easy to search, sort and filter.

This is the network of connections Google uses to identify relevant social search results. It is based on a combination of the following:

* Direct connections from your Google chat buddies and contacts (57, 12 with content)
* Direct connections from links that appear on your Google profile (425)
* Secondary connections (2699) that are publicly associated with your direct connections

So the Internet is going to be filled with dead people.

And their numbers will mount.
