Twitter Uses WWE As Example Of Google+ Integration Bias

January 13, 2012

Mashable.com has posted a new article taking a look at an apparent bias in the new Google+ integration, and it cites WWE as its example. Below is an excerpt:

In the latest episode of public bickering between Twitter and Google over the search engine's new Google+ integration, Twitter general counsel Alex Macgillivray has turned to wrestling.

That's the example he tweeted Wednesday afternoon to demonstrate the inefficiency of Google's latest changes, at least. "Folks asked for examples," he wrote. "Here's what a user searching for '@WWE' will be shone on the new @Google."

Included in the tweet is an image of Google search results that include the World Wrestling Entertainment's website, Google+ page and other relevant Google+ profiles — but no Twitter page.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
