Plagiarism. Counter. Backlinks. How Twitter followers propagate information by Alistair Croll of. Google Now Personalizes Everyone’s Search Results. Beginning today, Google will now personalize the search results of anyone who uses its search engine, regardless of whether they’ve opted-in to a previously existing personalization feature.
Searchers will have the ability to opt-out completely, and there are various protections designed to safeguard privacy. However, being opt-out rather than opt-in will likely raise some concerns. What's The Deal with OAuth? OAuth is an open protocol that Twitter is experimenting with along with other companies such as Yahoo, Netflix, and Google.
The idea is that folks can use awesome Twitter related applications and services like We Follow or TipJoy without giving away their account credentials. Our implementation of OAuth is in a beta testing mode right now and we are in close contact with the consortium of engineers who continue to define this open protocol. This week, we received word from the folks at OAuth that they were looking closely at a security issue within the protocol. We take security seriously and felt the responsible thing to do was temporarily disable OAuth while this matter was sorted out.
