So as always I’m probably late to the game but I’m for the first time seeing someone’s profile beneath a page I’ve searched for.
And I see the bosses picture in there underneath one of the items and I think to myself oh he +’d that it must be reliable.
So erm how long before Facebook or Microsoft issue a lawsuit over it being Anti Competitive I’m wondering?
Why is it “anti-competitive” ?
Well if they can be sued for promoting their own services in organic searches … and they are now including feedback from people from another one of their services and not from the likes of Facebook? which would have a much larger user base … I’d have to I’d have to say it’s anti competitive or at least by my understanding how that law stuff works?
That said I don’t agree with that type of crap where they get sued over their search results and so on but just wondering how long before there’s a case lodged.
Not really – it’s only an issue if they refuse to do it ..

They do the same with Twitter.
