Facebook no longer lets users hide from search Facebook is ending a feature that allowed users to hide from the social network's billion-plus members. The feature, akin to Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, will be removed, meaning that someone looking for another Facebook user can more easily find that person. "The setting was created when Facebook was a simple directory of profiles and it was very limited," said Facebook's chief privacy officer, Michael Richter. The setting made Facebook search "feel broken at times," Richter added in a company blog Thursday. "For example, people told us that they found it confusing when they tried looking for someone who they knew personally and couldn't find them in search results, or when two people were in a Facebook Group and then couldn't find each other through search." Facebook announced last year that it was ending this feature for new users, but allowed a transition for a "small percentage" of users who had that feature enabled. "Recommendations from people you know can really help.

How shared endorsements work - Google+ Help To ensure that your recommendations reach the people you care about, Google sometimes displays your reviews, recommendations and other relevant activity throughout its products and services. This sometimes includes shopping contexts, like the Google Play music store, and ads. Your profile name and photo may appear with the recommendation. For example, if you search for “Italian restaurants,” you might see an ad for a nearby restaurant along with your friend’s favorable review. Or, in Google Play, you might see that another friend has +1’d a new song or album. We call these shared endorsements. Here are some examples of shared endorsements. Don’t worry, your account’s privacy settings are not affected. How to turn on or off shared endorsements on ads: Sign into your Google account.

This snack-food corporation has a creepy plan to watch you in the grocery store (20th Century Fox / Dreamworks Pictures) It's not quite "Minority Report"-levels of creepiness, but it's getting there. Mondelez International, whose properties include Chips Ahoy, Nabisco, Ritz and other high-profile snack brands, says it's planning to debut a grocery shelf in 2015 that comes equipped with sensors to determine the age and sex of passing customers. The shelf, which is hooked up to Microsoft's Kinect controller, will be able to use basic facial features like bone structure to build a profile of a potential snacker, Mondelez chief information officer Mark Dajani told the Wall Street Journal. The company expects the shelf to help funnel more of the right products to the right consumers, and even convince undecideds to commit to an impulse buy by offering well-timed in-store commercials or coupons when the embedded weight sensor learns they've picked up an item. Of course, what one industry tries, another could copy.
