humanize google -- that will NEVER happen for pure economical reason.

you are not talking here about hiring a customer team of 50 folks answering the phone. you talking about half a million team of humans sticked to the phone 24/7 in order to accomplish that and succeed. I dont think AdSense revenue would cover the payroll and still keep GOOG stock going up.

here is the blueprint as of HOW google can win social: take me as an example: I am a web programmer, mostly php and mysql. google can determine that from my searches I am sure. but no matter how much I google I am still getting pages of C++ and Oracle results to my php/mysql problems.

To win social they should let webadmins of all sort of websites and all subjects (not only programming but anything else there is) implement more narrowed down system that would let them talk back to Google spider (sort of key tagging or GQL some sort of Google Query Language that would let admins describe what google boot see in more mechanical/technical language), and this way Google search results will be more precise, near to perfection! who goes beyond second results page?? I only found garbage after that! All I need is an answer to my question, not 50 pages of results. Accomplish that, Google, and I am stick to your search for next 10 years at least!

They already have a bunch of offices and representatives in numerous countries. Albeit, those people are mostly sales force.. if they expand those localized teams with marketing and intertwine them with local centers of media power they could humanize themselves with reasonable amount of money.
