Google+ Really Searches Your World

We love our social networking, don’t we? We integrate it into our daily lives, we use it as a means to fully interact with our friends, family, and Cityville, Farmville, or Mafia Wars friends. We use it to share our life with the world around us. Social networking is so big, even corporations are in on the game. So many commercials show the product, and then say “follow us” or “like us” to let you know they are on the two giant social networking sites. You see, social networking has become a giant stream of revenue for companies. A company like Facebook is said to be valued around $100 Billion, yes Billion, with a “B.” This has led other players to jump on the band wagon, and who better to join the game, Google! In September of last year, Google+ went live for all users over the age of 18. It is touted as Facebook on steroids, and I can believe that. The world’s most powerful search engine, the world’s most powerful email tool, and now the world’s most powerful social network? Here is something fun… When you use “Search Plus Your World” you will get amazing data… from your social network. Huh? What Does This Mean Jonathan? Whenever you do searches using this service, it will incorporate information from personal sources, like your Google+ posts, or posts from someone in your circles (friends), photos from Picasa, etc… You see, Google is saying that users can opt out of seeing the “personalized” search results, but there is no way of opting out from being part of the results that come out.

Don’t allow your privacy to be breached by corporations. Don’t allow your privacy to be breached by the government. Fight for your right to privacy, as you are the only one that can protect your data.

Thank you for reading.
