You make a really good point about the fear / miss-conception people will have about having search tied to their profile.
I really hope Google realizes that and draws a big fat line between searches and social profiles, and then makes it really apparent to their users.
Making people think they're sharing their everyday searches with their social circle is enough to completely kill this before it even gets started.
- scotth 15y agoI really don't think this will be an issue. Think of how often you browse Facebook just looking at people and reading info. This is not information I would like to have public any more than I'd like people knowing about what I search for. People won't give this a second thought, and hopefully Google will do a good job in keeping the concepts clearly separated.
- rapind 15y agoFacebook browsing habits don't even come close to the level of personal that google searches do. Even hardcore facebook stalker behaviour pales in comparison to some of the questions people ask google. Anyways, I don't think it's necessarily something people will be alarmed about, I just think it's something that should be made extremely clear because on the off chance people do start to worry, and how fast FUD can travel. It really could kill what looks like a great platform it that happened.
