Google knows me, but not my furiends
Jan. 31st, 2010 07:39 pmGoogle says I have 61 friends, which makes sense since LJ says I have 62 including myself. But LJ's list includes five former journals that no longer exist, so really it doesn't add up. Google's list includes Brad Fitzpatrick twice (once at LJ, once at Facebook even though I'm not his friend there). It lists "Ka Crow" who no longer exists (and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
just_the_ash is not my friend anymore). It includes Corin in NH who unfortunately had to prune his friends list (including me) many months back.
For "Secondary Connections" Google lists my friends-of-friends. Apparently I have only one:eliki who is a friend of serge12261 who no longer posts.
It lists NeverInOurNames.com as a primary contact, even though I have never heard of them. It says they are connected to me viakraant even though they are not mentioned in his journal. Shouldn't this be a secondary connection?
Overall summary: Not very impressive, Google. But keep trying! And if this is the best you can do, why should anyone be afraid of the big bad Total Information Awareness wolf?
