    feature update 🌵 Now if you drink, you can input how many drinks you had and track the quantity over time. This makes ZP more useful for cutting back 📉 – and no longer just about stopping entirely. As always, let me know what you think!

    With ads hidden with real results, Google moves closer to hidden bias not advertising, something described by Google’s founders as: “bias is much more insidious than advertising, because it is not clear who "deserves" to be there, and who is willing to pay money to be listed.”

    Appendix: In their original research paper, Google’s founders (Brin and Page) themselves say: “We believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent”

    Phase 1 of building a professional matchmaking bot: Going down a reading rabbithole trying to learning about matching algorithms... 🕳 Anyone have some recommended sources to read?

    Part of why I built Skillmap was to be the virtual friend that can intro you to useful new people... 🤝 BUT right now, it's a search engine 🔍 = users have to do the legwork. I'm going to build a bot/app that suggests relevant people to connect with, taking the effort out 🤖

    Setting myself a mini-challenge this week 🏃‍♂️🏆 Going to try to build a match-making mini app... no clue how yet, but will learn along the way.... 🤷‍♂️ Why do it?

    New subtle update to (hyper-local work network): Now when a user visits after dark we won't update their location. People want to connect in daytime spaces (coffee shops, coworking), so it makes sense that we only sync then + protects user privacy too.

    The real energy waste in the world today isn't by consumers not turning off a lightbulb... It's the terawatts of raw sun energy hitting the earth that aren't being captured in the first place.

    I'll finish with how a few shots of how the ad format used to look for comparison /end

    Google claims that the new format "puts a site’s brand front & center". But if that was the rationale... ...wouldn't it ALSO make sense to do the same for adverts too – who are paying money specifically for brand awareness? 🤔

    In this one example, where I just searched 'socks' 🤷‍♂️ the ratio of adverts to text results was ~3:4 Considering that Google once differentiated itself with a clear, minimal UI, it seems that user experience is taking a hit here in pursuit of deeper monetisation of search results

    The real outcome? Increased advert density in search – ads can now be scattered at various positions in the results, and Google can substantially boost the number of paid results per page... without it being obvious.

    Why do this? By putting something visually similar in every slot which previously signalled an ad, it becomes impossible for a user to tell them apart without taking care and effort. Google can still say they label adverts, but that info is now buried under more visual noise.

    The latest Google search UI redesign sneakily tries to hack that behaviour by subverting how we quickly scan to see if something is an ad or a genuine result. Where once only adverts had an icon to differentiate them, now there are favicons in the same slot on all other results

    In the context of Google results, often we skim past ad search results because they are the least likely to be relevant on the page (they're having to pay to be there, after all...) But what happens if you can't tell which is which anymore?
