Bing It On: Microsoft Claims 2:1 Users Prefer Bing’s Search Results Over Google’s In Blind Test | TechCrunch (Frederic Lardinois)

September 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Bing has a bit of an image problem and despite its best efforts, Microsoft claims, many people still have the perception that Google is simply “better.” To combat this, the company is launching its Bing It On challenge today. The challenge is essentially a Pepsi Challenge for search results. Microsoft says that in these blind tests, “people preferred Bing web search results nearly 2:1 over Google in blind comparison tests.” It’s worth noting that Microsoft excludes ads and features like Bing’s Snapshot and Social Search panes and Google’s Instant Previews and Knowledge Graph boxes from this comparison.

In the Bing It On challenge, you get to enter five search queries and the results are then presented side-by-side. You choose a winner for each result (or declare a draw) and once you complete your five queries, you get the results, which you can then share on all the major social networks.

With new Bing, is Microsoft the first to get ‘social search’ right? – The Washington Post (Ellis Hamburger)

May 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment

“90 percent of people consult with a friend or expert before making a decision,” Microsoft says in promotional materials for the new Bing, announced Thursday and rolling out over the next few weeks. The pitch sounds just like Google’s plan for Search Plus Your World, which peppers your search results page with content from Google+, the company’s social network. Microsoft’s doing a few things differently: it’s including social data from Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Blogger, and soon, LinkedIn, Quora, and Foursquare. The idea is that these social results will be inherently more relevant than Google’s simply by virtue of including more social networks, and in an unobtrusive manner.

With its “most significant” Bing update ever, is Microsoft the first to get “social search” right? Read on to find out.

4 Reasons to Worry about Privacy on Facebook – PCWorld

May 7, 2010 by Leave a Comment

1. Privacy Regression

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has an interesting post up on its Deeplinks blog that charts Facebook’s privacy regressions from keeping your information private to making more and more of your data public.

In 2005, for example, other Facebook users could not see any of your personal information on Facebook unless they belonged “to at least one of the groups specified by you in your privacy settings,” according to the EFF blog post. By 2006, public information included “school, your specified local area, and other reasonable community limitations that we [Facebook] tell you about.” By 2007, public information included your, “name, school name, and profile picture thumbnail.” By November 2009 your publicly available information was being indexed by third-party search engines, and by December 2009, publicly available information included your “name, profile photo, list of friends and pages you are a fan of, gender, geographic region, and networks.”

That is a drastic change in privacy in just five years, although some of these changes may be attributed to Facebook’s popularity and new user features and services. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how much more of your information Facebook pushes into the public sphere over time.

2. Complex Privacy Settings

Facebook allows a certain level of control over some of the information you want to make private, but these controls are not as simple as they should be. For example, Facebook has an entire section in its privacy settings called “Friends, Tags and Connections” that controls what types of information about other people are displayed publicly on your profile.

But to control what your friends can share about you, you have to edit these settings under the “Applications and Websites” heading. That may appear to be a logical grouping if you’re familiar with Facebook’s privacy settings and how the social network shares your information, but a user who isn’t familiar with these policies would have a much harder time finding this setting.

There are numerous other complexities in Facebook’s privacy settings, but on the positive side they do make it relatively easy for you to opt out of having your profile indexed by third-party search engines like Bing, Google and Yahoo.

3. Unclear ‘Connections’

Facebook recently lumped a lot of information together under a new heading called Connections that includes likes and interests, friends and connections. It may also include your current city, hometown, family, relationships, networks, activities, interests, and places. The problem is Facebook is not explicitly clear about what exactly is included in Connections and how this publicly available information is listed on your profile. Here is how Facebook explains Connections in its latest privacy policy:

“Connections. Facebook enables you to connect with virtually anyone or anything you want, from your friends and family to the city you live in to the restaurants you like to visit to the bands and movies you love. Because it takes two to connect, your privacy settings only control who can see the connection on your profile page. If you are uncomfortable with the connection being publicly available, you should consider removing (or not making) the connection.”

Nowhere in Facebook’s privacy policy does it explain exactly what Connections are. It doesn’t tell you, for example, that everything included in the “Likes and Interests” section of your profile are Connections, and therefore, this information is now public.

Facebook needs to explicitly state what connections are and where they can be found on your profile.

4. Getting Rid of Likes and Interests Is Getting Harder

Facebook wants to enhance the Likes and Interests section of your Facebook profile by linking your likes and interests to actual Web pages on the Internet. Liking a movie page on IMDB.com, for example, will create a link from that Web page back to your Facebook profile. The problem is, Facebook’s new interface makes it incredibly difficult to erase your likes and interests from your profile.

Google hit by lawsuits over copyright issues, privacy – latimes.com

April 8, 2010 by

Google Inc. has racked up the lawsuits this week, with one dealing with copyright issues and another citing privacy concerns with the company’s Buzz social-networking service.

On Wednesday, photographers and illustrators sued the Web-search company, contending that a plan from the world’s most popular Internet search engine to make digital copies of millions of books would infringe the copyrights for images they’ve created.

Individuals and groups such as the Graphic Artists Guild and the Professional Photographers of America filed a class-action lawsuit against Google in U.S. District Court in New York and are seeking a jury trial.

“We are confident that Google Books is fully compliant with international copyright law,” Gabriel Stricker, a Google spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement.

On Tuesday, Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corp., said newspaper publishers should prevent search engines like Google and Microsoft Corp.’s Bing from linking to full articles free.

“It’s produced a river of gold, but those words are being taken mostly from the newspapers,” Murdoch, 79, said at a taping of “The Kalb Report” at the National Press Club in Washington.

Murdoch, who publishes the Wall Street Journal, said news aggregators should be able to display only a headline, a couple of sentences and the option to subscribe to the publication.

Earlier in the week, Google was also sued over claims that its Buzz social-networking service violated the privacy rights of those who use Google’s Gmail service.

New Yahoo iPhone app lets you doodle your search | Crave – CNET

March 24, 2010 by

If you’re Yahoo, looking at a landscape where Google Search and Microsoft’s Bing app pretty much have search sewn up, how do you get noticed? You try something a little eccentric.

The free Yahoo Sketch-a-Search app does what the name implies, letting your fingertip inscribe a shape on the map that will become your searching area. Maybe you want to avoid a certain area, or search for businesses in a wider pattern. Pressing the green button on the graphically rich interface engages the map, and you’re free to doodle away on the native Google map. The location-aware app preloads your map based on your current location, but you can easily switch to a different city.

Searches are limited to restaurants, coffee shops, and some hotels for the moment, but Yahoo plans to expand to other local categories, like gyms, gas stations, pet stores, retail shops, and even real estate, like apartments. You can filter search results by star rating and restaurant category–we expect to see this expand when the categories grow.
