RE: How to make Google contact/connection
You can include a link to your Twitter account on your Google Profile page for example, and Google will include the people you follow in social search results. The key would be to use that Twitter account to engage with customers, so that if they follow you, you may be more likely to turn up in their results. The more you engage with people, and the more people who follow you on different networks (so long as the information is public), the better chance you have for showing up in more people's social results. You'll be part of more people's social circle.
Whwre do I find my 'Google
Whwre do I find my 'Google Profile' page?
Social Networking
How will it be indexed?
Google, You're Crazy
I think Google has friends and connections confused. If i'm building a business and want to establish business connections in say linkedin, I don't need their opinion when I'm going to buy a personal item. I have lots of connections at different places like flickr. I share something in common with them (photography) but I don't want their opinion on where they bought their shoes online.
Google - back off
Slaves
It seems that we have become willing slaves to the big companies.
Who wants Social Media Anyway?
Most of the people I know who have loads of friends on Facebook have very few actual friends in reality!! Who needs 'Virtual Friends'?
We are sewage treatment plant and septic tank suppliers and although we do have a Twitter account and Tweet regularly, I will be amazed if we ever obtain one single sale as a result of it.
Rubbish Google Results
Googles search results are getting worse as time goes on. If I wanted images, I would have selected them. Same goes for books, you-tube, etc.
No wonder people are moving to Yahoo and Bing - at least the results are a lot more relevant.
Google is going to lose
The more Social Results that Google shows, the more ridiculous the search results are going to be and people WILL switch to a different search engine.
Most of the Social Media site posts are garbage and who needs more of it??
It's about time that Webmasters started to spend more time optimising the websites for content and less time worrying about how many Tweets they have posted.
Come the search engine revoluton they will be glad they did.
Business will come kicking and screaming
As a Brisbane Search Engine Marketing company part of our sales proposition to small business in the need to engage in social media. Traditionally the sell has been difficult as the ROI on social media activities has been difficult if not impossible to measure. With Google's latest announcement the sell has just become that much easier. Once again business will have to come kicking and screaming into the new world if they are wanting to maintain there serps or crash into the front page.
very confusing as always ,
very confusing as always , as big companies take over the market ,they become less and less forgiving and more demanding
No impressed - I'm not
No impressed - I'm not giving G any more info that I have to - I will not be beholden to them - I don't trust them and for good reason - my social circle is MY social circle - not theirs.
Google sucks.
Up until now I real did admire google but this has just turned me against them.
I am a real estate agent, people don't follow real estate agents, point blank.
Now having to search through plug ins etc to try and come up with some way to build connections, also spend a lot of time looking at competitors websites so is this now going to corrupt results for me.
I just don't get it, one of the reasons people surf the web is because they want new information, nothing to do with what their mates are doing!
Swear coming out of my mouth and that is it.
big friend
G**gle: from big brother towards big friend! And remember, it is always you who has the social connections. Don't get paranoid
Yet another thing to worry about
Now more then ever we need to build networks of pseudo-friends just to get our businesses found. Plus now my real friends can find everything out about me much easier. How does this make my life easier? I don't get it.
Yeah... @*$% Them...
its all about control... always has been... yet when i spotted the internet (super information highway) i thought this is my way out... there not controlling it... guess what there attempting too... there afraid of the internet... there afraid of online voting... they need to control... its built in flaw of human nature... wait... they will tax the internet soon... there probable drooling all over that mere thought... as i type this... theres more yet "it doesnt matter" "just keep throwing dollars at it and it will go away..." "They want... what they want... what they want..." and dont care... about you... me or guy down the road... going to meditate now... thank you for reading...
