Half of the world loves G (the recent ABC book teaches G for Google) and rest half are scared..
Google is our friend or foe ..the best of world’s marketers still have their case studies incomplete.. They r not yet convinced to reach at any conclusion.
Working in a competitors company, every 3 sentence we discussed we say the word “google” once. its not me, even my search head from US who gave a talk recently,was observed doing the same. If google can, why cant we !!!
What I felt (1 year back) is, It empowers me, with its rich set of access to the information. Its a tool or moreover a service that converts user questions into search queries and maps it to the best result I wished. ( u say within, guru sab janta hai )
But using google no more only means, “extracting information from the internet labrynith”, now for me its, revealing more of myself to google/to the internet world. Google knows each and every pattern of my behavior.
To pen down a few,
- I search max on thursday( on an avg 67).
- During a day between 11-12 ( max serach queries are fired )
- It knows many more , what books, what places I search in map( Google knows I have kenya tiger safari in mind)
- The trends made me stand still
- It suggested me few keywords ,websites CRACKED.com – WTF!?: The 8 Strangest Communities on the Web
I always used to believe on google, but never trust it. I hope we understand the difference.
Being a technical person, I never wish to make google to behave smarter with me.
Thats the reason, I dont click on google search results, never directly click on sponsored links.i think google watches each and every query in the world.
When I say google, Its the machine , the computation algorithms.
It will not be very far when ppl will claim that, G knows them more than their spouse/ mother.
Also, may be guy’s will go through their intended spouse’s google search trends before going on their date.I think this will really help in understanding the character.
This is because, G will remain to contribute a large part into person’s thinking/ shaping of the thoughts and that is where a person exists.
I still imagine, one day I will type http://www.google.com, and reply will be
I think you want search for the result of “_________”, here are your answers
