Also mentioned on replies to that tweet was that maybe google.com doesn't have newsfeed functionality like facebook. But youtube does. And the personalization of search results based on your profile can also have similar effects.
- ohf 9y agoConsidering most search queries are simple and apolitical, I feel the argument "tailoring search results is less dangerous than curating a news feed" has some merit. That aside, if you use Google as your main news outlet, all that goes out the window.
- maxerickson 9y agoThe Android launcher app has a newsfeed, and they also added that to the (at least Android) Chrome start page. Sometimes I'll read an article to get a sense of what some gossip is about and then I get half a dozen wack-a-doo suggestions there, it is pretty bad. Also, since I marked that I'm interested in a couple of sports teams, I'm obviously obsessed with them and want to know everything repeatedly.
