I didn't do the google+ and I seldom do facebook and haven't done twitter for several years.
But, apparently, Google is going to take all of the ways that you interact with "the net", apparently there are at least 60 sources(I think those are the "more" that you see next to search), and also things like YouTube and aggregate all of that into one profile and that way they can give you a "better experience" (code for they can sell more adverts because they can say that they are targeting you better.
In a way, it is limiting what you have access to in that, using the example they give, you type in Jaguar in search and Google "knows" if you are referring to the car or the cat.
Well, that also means that you are going to get a more narrow set of links to things like..... dingbats.... unless you purposely go to the trouble to use search terms that force the situation.
And, apparently this is going to affect Android users more than "computer" users.
Here is a link to the article on Android and Google.
Here is an article that already tells one how to "depersonalize" your Google stuff , some of it, as computer savvy people we already know but there is some other stuff like on the Android phone.
So, if you have concerns about maybe your searches of Victoria Secrets catalogues showing up in your MALE persona at Facebook, do you have any thoughts?
Another browser than FF, maybe Rekonq, or DaffyDuck or whatever that browser is?
