AVATAR APPS GOOGLE PLAY – PETER CHIN ON MORPHING VIA APPS & I.T CULTURE MARKETING
Peter Chin a U.S pastor (nothing to do with pasteurised milk) comments on “Avatarism” “Apps” culture via Google Play… designed to acquire resource through spreading racial debate (dissention in some cases) in a game designed to acquire market share of the information collecting spy industry online.
–Read it.
There’s that notion of wearing ‘Indigenous peoples skin’… or a fear that China will wear the USA’s skin… in order to acquire resource etc. Or a commentary on the USA’s love-hate fascination with “what China’s doing next”. It can be said that the app is a commentary on it, to make the world get on, too. (more…)
EU & GOOGLE SKEWING SEARCH RESULTS 2013
“We are still investigating, but my conviction is [Google is] diverting traffic. They are monetising this kind of business, the strong position they have in the general search market…This is not only a dominant position, I think – I fear – there is an abuse of this dominant position.”
–Joaquin Almunia, The European Union’s competition chief, responds to a row with Google over whether it has changed its search results to give preferential treatment to links to its own services, at the expense of those from competitors.
Mr Almunia stressed that he was more concerned with the way that Google presents its results, rather than the complex codes at their heart.
–K Rushton reporting.
It is quite interesting!

ONLINE IN NEW ZEALAND – VISIBILITY OF WEB CONTENT VIA GOOGLE SEO RANKINGS – 12.30.12
Only in New Zealand when you have 21,000+ website posts of varied content across 9000+ sections of diverse titles too … would (and I mean this in the nicest possible way)… would, New Zealand’s most busted up city Christchurch… and an MP feature in page 1 visibility of Google’s results. That’s too funny.
Is that a) democratic? b) a sign of government SEO manipulation the way algorithms have been set? c) incredible domination of four years of website content d) or: just how it is…
Personally, I don’t care… it is what it is… and I lived in Christchurch once … yet in the USA… that never happened on google page 1.
Politicians never featured in the first ten pages of google SEO rankings. Oh well… it’s certainly a different ball game in NZ. Extremely territorially competitive, obviously – the way audiences are being directed to flow. Lol!

SHARE EPIC MOMENTS – GOOGLE & GLOBE LAUNCH “FREE ZONE” FOR “NEXT BILLION” SMART PHONE-SAVVY ASIAN MARKETS
“It’s aimed at the next billion users of the internet, many of whom will be in emerging markets and encounter the internet first on a mobile phone, without ever owning a PC, said Abdel Karim Mardini, product manager for Google.
Mardini is referring to Google’s launch of a service it hopes will push millions of people in the developing world to access the internet — and Google’s ads — via basic mobile phones.
Google will launch the service, called Free Zone, first in the Philippines. The service allows phones to access search, email and its social networking service Google+ for free. The plan ultimately leads to Google moving more into data plan acquistion facilitation for TelCo giants.
The Philippines is on the radar with the product launch. (more…)
