[governance] Google Profiling Social Network Users

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

  Well, so now Google is setting itself up as the social networking
profiling gate keeper?  Interesting, and frightening...  Also
not very user friendly either...

  Well I for , hope Google adds myself and all of our members as
being not very "Google Friendly"...

See:
 http://www.huomah.com/ David Harry writes "Google is looking deeper
into behavioral targeting of social network users with three more
patents. A while back,
http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/04/140223&tid=217
one patent came to light in the poorly termed friendrank

http://www.huomah.com/Internet-Marketing/Social-Media-Marketing/Social-networks-are-Open-for-profiling.html

Google could be profiling social network users. These three patents now
bring the series to five in total."
