Google to use your +1s, stars, and photo to endorse products

Postby Zancarius » Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:06 am

Starting November 11th, if you have a Google account, your mug or whatever profile picture you have could be used to endorse products if you've ever rated them through Google's offerings or +1'd anything related to a product. I doubt many of you have done so, but you can opt out. Heck, it might be worth preemptively opting out as a "just in case" measure...

My portrait is the cookie monster and has been for a few years now. Now that would be hilarious! "I had cookie so me say good omnomnomnomnom!"

It isn't just limited to Google+, though. The Google store or anything tied to their review system is fair game. ;)

There's so much potential for product trolling.
