“For me, the evilest thing that Google has ever done is put that red box on the search-results page. Every Google search now says to me: “we know you’re in the middle of searching for something, but we think that you might instead like to immediately know that somebody that you don’t know has followed you on Google+, so we’ve made a bright red box — the most eye catching and animated thing on the page, just so you know.” Google’s not doing this because Google+ has actual, relevant information that requires my immediate attention. If they were interested in that, they’d give me actual control over what goes into that red box, or give me the ability to shut it off entirely. No — they’re doing this because they want me to use Google+ more, so that they can say that they boosted “user engagement on Google+” on their next earnings call.”
