Google Search Plus Your World; seems to be the next big move in a long and painful war

So, what is going on on the interwebs? Well, in the social and search segment, things are getting heavily mixed up. Google finally uses its monopoly to push Google+ with its Search Plus Your World. Basically, the search results will get personalised even more than before, based on your G+ account. These personalised results will appear in the organic search results. Next to that, if you search for a person or brand, Search Plus Your World will show G+ accounts before Facebook Pages or Tweets. I can hear you say ‘duh, obvious move’, however, lot of people act surprised and start panicking. Strange.

A thunderous introduction by Film + Design called ‘Modern Worship’ shows a time-lapse video image of a dancing King of Pop impersonator in full glitterati, refracting the stage-lights in a multitude of sparkles and starbursts, while slo-mo moonwalking across the black nothingness. Cue the airplane. First the nose of the plane cuts through the left cadre of the projection,
