Google Notebook – New Way to Spam?
Tuesday, May 16, 2006I saw the posts around the Net about the Google Notebook Beta, and decided to check it out.
The concept behind Google notebook is simple; rather than making notes offline when researching something, use Google notebook. While you can already use your favorites / bookmarks to organize pages of note, Google Notebook takes it a step further. Instead of helping you track down just the pages you find information on, Notebook lets you add clippings of text, images and links from web pages – kind of like a virtual clipboard / notebook. Good idea.
There were not a lot of links to different areas available, but one of note was the Privacy Policy page. While reading it, a thought occured to me. Google Notebook offers spammers a new tool to manipulate results.
