@paulg benevolent except in core search and advertising which they protect fiercely -
@joshelman@paulg But even compared to how FB protects/exploits it's core business, Google is better -
@RyanHoliday disagree. FB has opened its identity graph and feed in ways far beyond what google has done with search -
@joshelman Sure--but limiting reach to sell promoting posts would be the equivalent of Google breaking search to sell more Adwords -
@RyanHoliday they did that to make sure users did not abandon news feed due to all of the posts they didn't care about. Not $$. I saw data. -
@joshelman It just aligns with their direct self interest! Point is I think GOOG would have done it differently--purely to avoid perception -
@RyanHoliday sure - goog is a little older and maybe more nuanced at messaging. But panda update fundamentally the same issue. -
@joshelman I'd agree with that

@paulg In Tech, HP, IBM? -
@wmougayar@paulg IBM was involved in many corruption cases in the 90s, HP http://goo.gl/W3ZWgf is paying $108 to settle a bribery case -
@databigbang@paulg Prior to Carly's arrival, HP was a pretty respectable and admired company. And a model corporate citizen. -
@wmougayar@databigbang@paulg sociopathic CEOs seem to be a natural hazard for public companies. Sooner or later one gets installed...

@paulg when benevolence masks the total commodification of human inquiry, it’s arguably worse than mere gluttony.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
