Google stalks your social circle
By Kelly Fiveash
27th October 2009

Google took its beach towel down to the social networking pool yesterday with the release of its latest Facebook-apeing Web 2.0-stylie search tool.

Mountain View announced a new Google Labs experiment - dubbed “Social Search” - that creepily helps users probe more “relevant public content” from their “broader social circle”. The company has already been improving search results to make them more personally tailored to an individual surfer’s stalker needs.

 “With Social Search, Google finds relevant public content from your friends and contacts and highlights it for you at the bottom of your search results,” said Google in a blog post.

The tool allows users to see search results for a simple query, such as New York, that includes any friends that might have referenced the city in their blog. Social Search can also be filtered so that only results of content from a person’s “social circle” are shown.

This is by far the biggest bullshit news story published today. "They" are trying to say that in the instance of a pandemic, extra demands would be put on internet bandwidth because of all the sick people working from home and using the internet! If you believe this and are on my website... WTF.

This has to be the dumbest excuse for selectively censoring webpages I have ever heard. They claim they need to free up bandwidth for "commerce"!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! The following article is framed in a way that investigates the department of homeland securities naive confidence and incompetency in regulating this make believe issue!

A quote from Reuters
"Experts have for years pointed to the potential problem of Internet access during a severe pandemic, which would be a unique kind of emergency. It would be global, affecting many areas at once, and would last for weeks or months, unlike a disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake."

Who the fuck are these experts? What about all the freed up bandwidth from people not using the internet at work? What happens when people get off of work? Is there a crisis every evening we dont know about? Smiggens. At any rate its imperative that in the thick of global pandemonium webshites like this one be suspended so to free up the broadband for Zionist endorsing disinformation and gratuitous kicked in the nuts videos.

"Such network congestion could prevent staff from broker-dealers and other securities market participants from teleworking during a pandemic"

They mean that rich people wont be able to fuck you over, as if thats the reason anyway.

The people who dominate your lives wont give you electric cars or a decent cell phone plan, but are now promising you a brighter future complete with Armani designed bodies and the ability to fly! I am not anti-science in any respect, but I am anti-technopoly. Fast forward to 23:00 for the truth!

They should call this documentary the end of sex! This is basically the elites telling you what they are going to do after they are done with us.

This is about 3 hrs long so kick back!

As many of you helpless avatards know, facebook has recently made some changes that has sent a ripple of unrest throughout the flock as it always does. What is the purpose of these changes?

Facebook says its based on user feedback. Their excuse is that people who are too lazy to paruse their newsfeed wanted a more concentrated version of the mundane activities of their fellow slaves. Youll notice that if you dont check your page for a few days and are an avid facebook friend collector, you will be back logged with a few hundred bits of information which is cumbersome to catch up on. So they have taken the liberty of chosing what they feel is most relevant to you based on the following:

The principle of concensus validity. "If the content has comments or 'likes' by 10 of your mutual friends, it's something that is important to you," said Peter Deng, a Facebook product manager.

Or is it that this 'personalized' news feed will work to reinforce peoples viewpoints? Denying them access to information which may run counter to those.

Likely. The purpose of this gradual concentration of information is to ensure that no wires get crossed, that is, to ensure that all those 'crazies' on your lists who post interesting stories dont interrupt your erudite tweets that are only comprehensible to high-brow aesthetics and business types.

A message has been circulating by facebook soldiers explaining this:

FACEBOOK IS BLOCKING ALL YOUR FRIENDS NEWS FEEDS EXCEPT 250 THEY CHOOSE. TO UNDO BLOCK: Go to your HOME page. Make sure your news feed shows LIVE FEED. Then scroll to the bottom, click " Edit Options, You will then see your NEWS FEED SETTINGS. C...hange the 250 to 5000 for Facebook's friend limit and your feed will work right again. COPY & PASTE THIS & PASS IT ON.

I too have succomb to the trend.

But what is the tragedy here? Well for one, anyone of those friends who already has had facebook trim you from their big 250 will never see it :( eventually it will get around to them, but the fact is they are probably people tiring of your endless ranting anyway and would rather keep shopping while they still can. Fair enough.

The purpose
The endgame if you will is to have the live feed removed altogether, so that eventually the only information you will have at your disposal is what facebook feels is relevant to you (i.e. that which used to show up in your highlight reel). So you may be thinking "Why dont you get off facebook and get a life" mr. Human. Point taken, but bear in mind that facebook is growing exponentially and will someday (and by and large already is) the commoners only way to communicate with large amounts of people. Not like its amounted to much other than a nation on the edge of their seat, considering no meaningful social upheaval has occured using the internet, asides from botched rebellions like the 1999 battle of Seattle which was clearly a huge success :(

You will also notice that the live feed is now cluttered with all the extra little bits about friend adds, and who posted on what group wall, all the more incentive to become hopelessly dependent on Facebooks modified version of your news feed...

Here is some instructions on how to change your newsfeed back to normal, disregard this guys motive for doing so (i.e. so he can keep tabs on his mafia wars application) *pukes
