Tech It Like A Man!

The other day I logged into my Facebook account, to find that they are releasing a public profile to Google. I’m like …uh NO. I immediately fixed my privacy settings to reflect that I did NOT want to show up on Google with my real name and whatnot hanging out. What I didn’t know was that many people are pretty mad about the change.

How Facebook’s “public search listing” could empower users by ZDNet’s Steve O’Hear — Facebook is adding “public search listings” whereby user profiles will be indexable by Google et al. This, once again, raises the issue of privacy on the social web. In this post, I argue that Facebook profiles that show up on Google results could actually benefit users who are concerned about their represented online.

So, if you have not changed your privacy settings yet, you should definitely go do it right now. If you are okay with people searching your name and a way to contact you, then let it be.

OH wow. This has been a long time coming. I use Google Maps all the time. Now I can see a few cities in 360 degree 3D. How neat is that? I am rather impressed with the project. It makes for a rather interesting experience on the Web. Only a few cities are included right now, but more are coming. Soon we may be able to see around the world without leaving the comfort of our computer chair.

Google has just put a stake in biotechnology. Why? One would argue that it’s because of the ties the biotech company has with a huge search engine marketer’s wife. I would say it’s just a cover for their plans to take over the world. Once Google can begin to clone their own Googlites who tap into iGoogle every day with their mind controlling subliminal messages. Honestly, what does Google want with biotechnology? Start asking questions, people. They are snapping up everything in sight.

I just got finished reading a blurb about the whole acquisition and I laughed out loud. Honestly, I think it’s hilarious that Microsoft is having a cow over Google taking over Doubleclick.

Google = Antichrist. What did they THINK was going to happen? Read the Bible! The Antichrist takes over the world and lulls it into a sense of “I’m okay, you’re okay” while he thinks “all your content are belong to me”. Google is in the position to take over the Internet on all levels. They are releasing their own pay per link advertising and ousting their competition. Soon every ad on every website will be powered by Google. Just wait and see what their next acquisition is…

There is nothing I hate more than going to a website that looks interesting, only to find that it is in a different language. I then have to go through all this rigmarole to get a halfway coherent translation of the site. Thankfully, for Google has a translation widget that you can utilize to make sure that your readers don’t feel left out. Thanks to ]tag]Digital Nomads[/tag] for finding the plug-in and sharing it with the world.
