Violate my privacy? Okay then!
Typed 30th August, 2007 at 10:11 pmRead/Write Web bring up a good argument on whether or not you would share your personal search history with your buddies on Facebook. I am not a user of Facebook, so I am not really all that familiar with what goes on there. However I am an infrequent MySpace user, I meander the corridors of MySpace late at night looking for new friends and staying in touch with old ones.
I know that I don’t know everyone on my MySpace friends list, so if I did share my search history with them it could be with some questionable people. Also its not just the people that are questionable, its more what I search for. The amount of random crap I search for in any given day is unreal, I should have something better to do with my time and I am a little ashamed.
Why would someone who is ashamed of how much he Googles want to share what he Googles? Exactly, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t even show the list of searches to my closest friends, because searches can contain sensitive personal data or just make you look plain stupid. Who wants to see their friend searching for porn? or a certain medical condition they may have?
If this little search history tool was implemented on MySpace, then I would count me out and I wouldn’t follow what my friends are searching because no doubt it would cause rifts in friendships and cause paranoia amongst the MySpace Population.
