| 1216395 | 2011-07-12 15:37:00 | LINK: www.zdnet.com What do Google execs know about Google+ privacy that you don't? Excerpt: ibid: ...I finally made it into Google+ (http://plus.google.com/), the new Facebook-like social service from Google that’s in “limited field trials” right now. It has at least one useful but hard-to-find privacy feature that is disabled by default. How did I stumble across this setting? Simple: I looked at the Google+ profiles of top Google executives and engineers. Every single one of them has changed this default setting. You can see the evidence for yourself by visiting a new website, SocialStatistics (http://socialstatistics.com/), that serves as a leader board for the new service. Does anything jump out at you from this chart? <yadda, yadda> My question is: If this setting is one that everyone on Google seems to feel is important for their privacy, why isn’t it the default for the rest of us? A good read, here! |

| 1216398 | 2011-07-12 23:49:00 | I will never edit my settings, social networks will never do me wrong and will always protect my privacy.. It's natural for misbelievers to not believe that you're protected, but Google would not do me wrong, I feel safe. |
