#google — Public Fediverse posts

@SomeGadgetGuy I used to have a #Google Plus account. Strangely, bad news about Google that I posted repeatedly got deleted. I used to post the same item multiple times to see it get deleted in real time.

the #google #gmail account I made when gmail was invite only is about to be deleted.

I will be changing my last name anyway so screw it.

Privatsphäre als Kollateralschaden.
Quantität schlägt also Qualität.

I have a sincere question: Is it just me, or has the quality of results from the major search engines really gone downhill since AI became mainstream? Or am I just getting old?

What if Google Search Console comparison reports worked the way they should?

You know, providing percentage change indicators (so you don't have to do the math) and automatically matching the day of week.

That's why I built the GSC Compare % Change Chrome Extension.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gsc-compare-%-change/efnemkepkjnfgpcekdnnmbiapkdlaogd

Install it, refresh your Search Console tabs and do a time period comparison.

If you like it, share it with a colleague and/or give it a (glowing right!?) review.
