Sure, but there's a huge difference between "waiting to be found" and "pushed to the foreground".
It's just like the Facebook Newsfeed debacle. People tend to have an expectation of "how public" something is on a scale, and when that changes suddenly it can be a bit jarring. Ultimately, people adjust -- but it's a mistake to look at public/private as a binary concept. In many people's minds, it is a sliding scale.
- Tawheed 17y agoIf anything, Google should've learned from the Facebook debacle before releasing a News Feed of their own. Essentially, Google made the SAME EXACT mistakes as Facebook did.

- Tawheed 17y agoHow is it strategy when they're reverting their mistakes? Unless ofcourse screwing over a handful of people for 3 days of press buzz is considered strategy.
- wvenable 17y agoHow are they reverting their mistakes? A few tweaks to help people opt-out? That doesn't change much. You can't monetize privacy.
