Today I received a email from Bing that read something link this ….

And Just like that …

Search Goes Social High-Quality Search results are just the beginning. Now only Bing brings together best search with people from your social networks, so you can spend less time searching and more time doing.

 

Now I am very excited by this new move from Bing, it comes right after Google kind of screwed up its search engine results with all these crazy updates namely Panda and Penguin.

Now don’t get me wrong Google is still King of search but it is very nice to have choices and prior to this there was none.

So what is this Search Goes Social and what does it all ? It basically means instead of just search the old fashion way where you had rankings based on backlinks and other SEO tactics you now have social signals showing up in the serps.

To Google social search means Google plus One Your World to Bing social search means you search and you can get ask your Facebook and Twitter friends for help. So instead of getting some fake review from someone you don’t know or trust you now with Bing new look and functionality you can have the help of your friends.

Now here is what I  can’t wait to see what is Google next move or do Google ever need to move. Google has 80% of the search market although I love Google+ most of my friends who are not tech, geeks or marketers are not there.

This could be something big for Bing and Facebook. The only real drawback is Google not only have search but Google has mail, Google has video, Google has  a hell of a lot.

We will see how this turn out … until then …. Let the Serp Games Begin!!!!!

Is Google really a honest company, well it does not seem like it with all the reports of  things that Google has done it seems like although the company motto is “Do no evil’ sometimes it may seem that Google does not really have room to promote that slogin.

The latest allegation of evil act that has been done by the Big G infringed copyright in photos of John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix.

Google has been hit with a lawsuit alleging that it infringed copyright in photos of John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix in a promotion for its music store.

The case, quietly filed late last month in Los Angeles federal court, alleges that Google used a backdrop created by street artist Thierry Guetta to promote Google Music — the music store that Google launched last November. But Guetta himself allegedly violated copyright with the backdrop, because it included key elements of photos taken by James Marshall, according to the lawsuit.

This reminds of many times that Google has done other things that may be consider shady, grey or even black but the company has launched their attack on so call bad websites with its Penguin alogrithmn update and panda update.

 

Of course this is not the first time Google been accussed of wrong doing actually Google was sued by a Florida woman in 2010 over Buzz.

 

Google Getting Sued Over Buzz   
A Florida woman has filed a class action lawsuit against an apologetic Google this week.  The complaint alleges that Google broke the law when it shared personal data on its Buzz service without the consent of users.  Specifically the suit accuses Google of breaking the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.  Apparently Google didn’t test Buzz very well – they told the BBC that they only tested it internally with 20,000 employees before releasing it.

Now you want to here some real evil that Google admitted to stealing from Mocality a Kenyan base local search phone and search directory.

Last week, Google was forced to admit that its Kenyan unit was “improperly” using data from a local startup (the victim, Mocality, had assembled a valuable online and mobile-phone-accessible directory of local businesses; Google was allegedly accessing Mocality’s database and soliciting its customers to buy websites set up by Google).

We can go on and on about Google and reason why that slogan just don’t fit any more. I would love to hear your feedback on what you think about Google and the “Do no evil” slogan.
