Today Google released a new product - Google Me. It's aim is to give users control over their online identities. Too bad it's not what users asked for, I'll explain.Some folks Google themselves only to find negative information, they would like to remove this information and since it's their names they feel they should be allowed to. Google responds with their 'Google Me' service -> Now, anyone can make an online profile. If someone enters their name into Google, their profile will pop up.. or should I say down.. the profile displays at the bottom of the search results, under all the search results users were hoping to get rid of.
Instead of allowing users to control the search results with their names as queries - Google is trying to promote their own social networkish 'Google Profiles' system.
Thanks Google, for a minute there we forgot who you were.
I think Google me is just a gimmicky thing to expand the influence of Google in the net.
ReplyDeleteI would wait and see what this service would do for me.
You're right --- epic fail!
