Google already has a social network (orkut), but it's only popular in Brazil and India, doesn't have a Googlish interface and had a lot of security problems in the past. That's why last year Google sponsored a project at the Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute whose initial goal was to "rethink and reinvent online social networking".

This was just a project. And I don't think Google will use it to make a "new" social network, but the team will pick some good ideas and adapt it for orkut.

I said it was a research project from last year whose aim was to improve orkut. They actually worked with the orkut team. Maybe the title is not very accurate, though...
