This is actually a misfeature -- it's hard enough to avoid procrastinating without having to summon the super-human willpower necessary to avoid clicking your notifications every time you do a simple search.
- esrauch 15y agoIt's a misfeature if you are trying to actually get work done, but in my experience people aren't exactly going to use a different search engine so that they can avoid seeing something that they want to see. They are going to use the same one and complain "why do I have friends!" while reading their messages and procrastinating on their work.
- rbarooah 15y agoI think you're spot on - Facebook is basically an entertainment destination. If google is trying to become the same thing, they may end up making the search experience worse. That said, it's not like there's a choice.
- abhishekpathak 15y agoYou don't have to be signed in to search.Log out when in work mode.
- levesque 15y agoI love Google+ so far, but I think this notification in all google sites is overkill. I'll be one of those looking for ways to disable that notification area.
- code_duck 15y agoI wonder how companies will view this, too - if they block Facebook to keep employees from wasting time, what now?
