---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin F <[email protected]> Date: 4 February 2013 16:01 Subject: Re: exploring the use of G+ for the p2p foundation To: Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> It's an interesting article about the benefits of G+ social search vs Facebook's new Social Graph. When friends on Google+ use Google Search it presents related material discussed by friends on G+. This feature is called 'Search + Your World'. If you integrate Google Authorship with your blog all your posts that appear in Google's Search results will have a direct link to your G+ profile. The author suggests that both these features combined create a powerful positive feedback in terms of your contents ranking on Google for both friends and non-friends. The author list the benefits that G+ adds to Google Search and compares it to Facebook's new Graph Search and argues that G+ gives a higher quality search result. Facebook's new Graph Search is based on what people 'like' and he argues that what people 'like' on Facebook is different from what we mean when we normally say we like something. This is because on Facebook we 'like' things for all sorts of different reasons. For example we 'like' pages so as to take part in competitions or to take part in promotions. He also says that Facebook's 'like' feature is regularly gamed where G+ has anti-gaming built into it. Thus Google's social search is more accurate. Anyway thats a very light summary for you. It would be worth investing what's involved in integrating Google Authorship into the P2Pblog. Best Kevin On 4 February 2013 14:06, Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> wrote:

Since my first day here (Google+ Day 3), I've been saying that there is so much more under the hood of what Google has created with Google+ than most people--even most "social media experts"--understand.
You are reading this on the most powerful networking and influence-spreading tool in the history of the world. I truly do not believe I am exaggerating in the slightest.
