G+_Bruce B Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I got a mention on AAA. This was me... I have an example of Google plus being a little scary. Last December I was at a house party with friends. I spent the evening chatting up a very attractive young lady (who I kinda knew). At the end of the evening we went our separate ways. The next day Google plus recommended her as a friend. 1) I have never searched for her on the Internet 2) the party was arranged via Facebook and I added a calendar entry manually without any attendees She had an iPhone (probably running some Google services) and I can only assume that Google knew that we were both in the same location at the same time. I'm a big Google fan and I don't really care that it is watching (as it knows everything about me) but it did make me think. Gina Trapani Ron Richards. Following on from show I can confirm that I am not friends with her friends. As far as I can see we were completely independent from one another. Great show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Stronge Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 How can you tell that you aren't friends with her friends? She was at party, you were there, you both were invited presumably by one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gareth Edwards Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Only friends of friends on Facebook not Google plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Stronge Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Practically everyone has a Google account with contacts synced/backed up, even on iPhone you can sync contacts to Google. Whether it can use that info, I don't know or maybe its just a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
