An Alphabet Google Process May Spell Trouble
September 4, 2015
Google does not fiddle with search results, or that’s what I concluded by reading the blog post called “Improving Quality Isn’t Anti-Competitive.”
I also read “Google Has a Secret Interview Process… And It Landed Me a Job.” The point of this article is that Google monitored a user’s queries about programming. When certain terms appeared in the user’s query, the Google search system displayed this question:
Your’re speaking out language. Up for a challenge?
When the user moved forward with the challenge, the result was a Google request for an interview.
Magic? Objective? Efficient?
My thought was, “Perhaps Google performs a similar on the fly monitoring and procedural function when users perform other queries?”
Instead of getting a job at Google, applications of this method could, not the “could”, gentle reader, be used to display results to achieve other user actions.
Will the whiz kids grousing about Google in the European Commission see this “how I got hired” article as a way to spell trouble for Alphabet Google?
Nah, impossible. I love Alphabet Google. Objectively, of course.
