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.

App Review: Google Goggles

I have to admit that I do not own the app I’m about to review. In fact, I have never used it. But I want to discuss this app here because I feel that in the long run it may have a huge impact on the way we think about search, data and data sharing. Meet Google Goggles.
