Google + ultimate weapon: Social relevance Sort

Yesterday China online shop selling electronics(http://www.epathchina.com/ ) ePathChina analyst Yide Huang wrote an articles on Google + and elaborated the Google + social relevance sort.
Those who used the Buzz know that, in addition to the Achilles heel of exposing privacy, Buzz has a very annoying design: a comment on the Top. This makes a piece of information uninterruptedly occupy your time line. In just a few days of opening for registration, Google + has the same situation, if you post a comment for a message, as long as others comment it, this information will be up to the top of your timeline.
Is the Buzz nightmare representing? Soon, Google employees issued such a message:
Google engineers are adjusting the post sort in your flow of information. This week we will make some adjustments, so that those super-popular post will not “nail” in the top of your information flow.
Subsequently, the information sticky situation disappeared. So, Google listened to user complaints and gave up this design? What were Google doing?
At first glance, this seems to be a confusing decision, won’t it OK to sort the flow of information in chronological order? Why should I adjust? This will interfere with my information flow.
Yes, arranging the flow of information in chronological order do meet the people’s psychology, theoretically it also helps you get real-time information, but it actually is of a problem in use.
How to solve the problem? “to adjust the post order in your information flow.” Information of interest increase ranks, uninteresting information decrease ranks.That is, Google + has already begun the social relevance sort.
Google’s search engine can get the status of the king, because of its high correlation algorithm. Pagerank algorithm ordered the web page through a variety of complex parameters and arrived at the weight of each page. Then whether there are such algorithm on Google + posts?The China discount electronics store(http://www.epathchina.com/ ) ePathChina Yide Huang think the answer is yes.
This adjustment is delicate, many people may not very care, but there will be effects.Circle design is appearance different from Facebook, and “sort of social relevance,” is the ultimate weapon of Google to fight against Facebook.

Will Blogger and Picasa two brands disappear for the strong promote of Google +?

Google is now strongly promoting Google +, at this time Google just closed the real-time search. Google’s explanation on this issue is that the agreement with Twitter has expired, is it really? Google + was launched on the date when the agreement with Twitter expires, did Google and Twitter both forget to renew it? Obviously not, their negotiations should have collapsed. According to bulk wholesale electronics(http://www.epathchina.com/ ) ePathChina analyst, maybe Google + makes Twitter don’t want to renew the agreement, or Twitter unwilling to renew the protocol early leads Google + must be hurry to be released to meet the needs of Google real-time search? These are read to strongly push Google +, then what about the Blogger and Picasa acquired by Google?
If Google strongly push Google +, Picasa and Blogger brands will disappear, this is part of the Google + social networking sites strategy, non-Google product name will disappear, and will be replaced by Google related products.
Of course, Picasa photo-sharing service and Blogger blog service will not disappear, they are the few of Google’s popular social networking products. According to reliable sources from ePathChina, six weeks later, Google will change Picasa its name to the Google Photos (in fact, in the current navigation bar of Google, Picasa has long been renamed Photos), and Blogger will be renamed Google Blogs. Other Google’s brand may also be similarly affected, it is still unknown whether the YouTube ranks. if Google really want to rename it, then it is estimated to be called Google Video? But Google had such a product before, after the acquisition of YouTube,the Google Video has completely disappeared in May this year.
Google has in the past renamed the services they acquired. JotSpot acquired in 2006 changed its name to Google Sites in 2008, and in 2007, GrandCentral in 2009 was renamed Google Voice.
Picasa and Blogger are two relatively well-known brands, and has a large number of loyal users, so Google still retained their names together after the acquisitions, and now if they are renamed,it may make the old users disappointed, but as China wholesale & drop ship electronics supplier(http://www.epathchina.com/ ) ePathChina said, “everything is worthwhile for cohesion of the Google brand”.
These series actions of Google are intended to make efforts to promote Google +, which shows their high hopes to Google +. Google introducing Google + not only makes the relationship with Facebook tense, but also gives up the partner Twitter. Will Google + survive under the attacks of the two largest social networks?
