Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments

[Pigeon]

Users of Facebook Connect have previously enjoyed extra privacy as it was harder for Google to index comments made on the platform. Google, which also runs the competing service Google+, has now started indexing Facebook's public comments as well as comments made on platforms Disqus and Intense Debate, which all used programming that was hard for Google to read. Public comments and links made on those platforms will now be directly visible and searchable in Google.

Great, now searches will return even more irrelevant links. On the other hand, more stupidity can be easily found.

Only if it is for something to sell.

What a phenomenal waste of time. Why did they make the effort?

[lkwalker]

Because that is way of all Borgs.

I'm making a note of this to file and access later.

It gives Goggle some control over FB in the search world. Let's not forget that Goggle also deals with ads which might play into this affair.

That makes sense. I don't know how that would work but that would make what they did seem rational.

GOOGLE: there's money feeding on the bottom.

[Pigeon]

Actually Goggle controls who make quite of bit of moey in the net ad world.

Shit eaters reading your trash and selling it to any available preditor. Fudk em.
