Last week, Google launched a new feature called "Search plus your world." When you're signed into your Google account and perform a Google search, the results will return photos, videos and other content from Google services. Basically, Google is attempting to expand its online dominance. Comparisons are being made to what Microsoft did that resulted in an anti-trust case in 1998.

  • thumbs up if you went on Google and tried to find more pics of Li Anne. :-P

  • Rather than show examples of why it is bad (examples, as in real searches showing it's bad), you make ambiguous claims about how it could be bad while also claiming that you know exactly what made their search engine a success. Where's your multi-billion dollar business? Right.

  • bing links facebook, and maybe even tritter, it probably should have been mentioned

  • nice animation and yes you are sexy. But beyond that nothing much in this article. The other social networks are pissed cause it leaves them high and dry.

  • @Javasaur13 If you don't want it associated with your identity, don't use a Google or Bing account at all. Both personalize results based on your historical interests (which is a good thing, but y'know, whatever helps you sleep at night).

  • @darlagoddesshate The lady says "Google is mucking up search results by promoting its own self-interests ahead of what's accurate and relevant" (0:28). No proof, just an ambiguous claim. Has she even used Search, plus Your World? I have, and I assure you this isn't the case. In fact, for many queries I've tested, it doesn't affect the top 1-6 results at all. In addition, it's crazy easy to disable it when your friends happen to be fluent on the subject, but not what you're after (unlikely).

  • @IrSpock Are the opinions expressed wrong?

  • love your vids!

  • @whythehell99 So the entire western world is going to hell. I get it now.

  • @caqtv Don't be evil remember? Greed and selfishness would be considered evil in my book.

  • google gave you life, dont complain

  • Don't use Google or their products if you don't like it. There are plenty of alternatives.
