I will no longer use Product Search.
@nelsonMinar @pamelafox @cidbona and any other googlers. Do you think it could actually ever go back to the way it was? Or is it too late? The beauty of Google in 2001-3 was that it gave you hope for what a company…
@jrockway - I know you just started at Google. Anyway, here are the deeper issues. 1. I had mentioned this in another post to you before. Anyway, some people(not all) are upset because your company said you were better…
You honestly feel that the Matt Cutts article about seeing his werewolf photo benefits search results? You are definitely in the minority. Look at the comments. EDIT: Never mind. Didn't know you are a Googler. of course…
A little over the top, but to your point. See this search for cars I just did... 2 real results on the entire page. http://oi39.tinypic.com/2s62a9k.jpg
Yes, I use Bing and starting to use DDG for tech queries... You are wrong about fb/twitter are the only ones who care. Look at all of the comments on the blogs... Here is one for an example.…
ex1: it's an ad for google for google products no? It's not relevant like Cleetus said. ex2: In 99% of searches I would never want to see that, but I just searched for sales and he is #3... some blurb about kindle fire…
bing for main searches - DDG for tech searches... thats the play.
disclosure of what? Do you think he voted 15,000 times?

Wow - 65% of people say they will cancel their Google Account over the Privacy changes... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-user-polls/post/wil...
I'm not surprised. It is weird though. He is not in my circles and never has been. Even if he was I don't care to know he is going to the game. :)
if someone followed these rules it might actually work - http://www.google.com/about/corporate/company/tenthings.html
Cletus: The outrage is from people who feel they were lied to and instead of apologizing google seems to be defending their actions. You said: As far as SPYW goes, it's all about giving the users more relevant results.…
search nfc championship game in google. In my results MG Seigler's g+ account is ranked #5. Above the nfl, nytimes, espn, etc. It is a G+ post where he says "going to the nfc championship game with Sarah Lacy" - Keep in…
Blake: If Focus on the User really doesn't want to be "evil" and you want to "focus on the user" then the plugin needs to be changed. The edits the plugin makes are better, but it just looks like Facebook/Twitter are…
This is great. I will add the pseudonym of Mortgage Loans and my profile will be the #1 result in Google.
I would argue on both of your statements, but I don't think you are reading anything I write. :)
Incorrect. I did a search for "test" while logged out. In the top 5 results there are 2 results for MG Seigler who I am not connected with in any way. Then I did another search for NFC Championship game - Again, MG…
You aren't familiar with antitrust laws. Because a company has a free product does not mean it can't be anticompetitive. Free means nothing. Example: If one company owned 90% of the media content in the world and gave…
Yes, but why did anyone feel entitled that their browser should be bundled with Windows? Or that Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to include their own software within their own software? Seems to me that is a sense of…
I believe the point is that within the past month Google's "Do no evil" has jumped the shark. It no longer exists. But some people still trust them for some reason that I dont understand. Maybe because Matt Cutts seems…
The funny thing is everyone continues to make excuses. Already 2 in the past 5 minutes...
Well they must have missed a week. Search for cars while you are opted-out of personal search. You will see the Google+ Ferrari page on the right. Is that really what people want to see? The normal Ferrari website isn't…
Yes, they took user behavior into account and realized that it didn't matter because they have to get into the social space. Remember, social media success is tied into all Google employee bonuses. They are willing to…
