Heh, Google really is making a big mistake here. People search for weird shit on Google and don't want anyone else finding out. I mean all it takes is a few people accidentally 1+'ing a "weird" page, their friends ridiculing them, and the person whining on the internet.
Seriously, all the search people are screwing this up. Once Bing integrates with Facebook as well, people are going to start freaking out. Nobody cares if advertisers track them looking at stupid shit. It's only when parents/coworkers/friends see that stuff when it matters.
"Personal" social search is a fake problem domain. The real one is creating anonymous searching, and grouping people into anonymous artificial circles.
"Here is what other people looking at anal beads liked" is what we need, not "Mom, Dad liked this (Anal Beads) search". I know this may be factually wrong, but it doesn't matter. People are going to start thinking it does/will happen. Fear propagates faster than facts. Once people start getting privacy phobic they WILL lash out. It just hasn't reached the tipping point.
It's sad when Moot knows more about the fate of the internet than the people putting the $$$ into it.
