Used to be if you wanted to get yourself Facebook fired or say, estranged from your mate, family or friends, you had to leave your dumb, stupid and otherwise inflammatory comments on Facebook, which ? depending on how savvy you are about your security settings ? would be the only place anyone could find them. But no more!
Google is now indexing comments left in those popular Facebook comment engines that blogs and websites ? including TODAY? ? use to increase their social media footprint. This means your words of wisdom (or otherwise) can show up in Google search results.
This latest update in your potential Internet humiliation ? pointed out by Digital Inspiration and confirmed by Google?engineer?Matt Cutts??? applies to comments you leave on blogs and websites using your Facebook login.?Digital Inspiration adds that you (your mate or potential employer) can search for specific comments via names and titles.?As an example, the blog searched for well-known tech blogger Robert Scoble ? "Robert Scoble * Chief Learning Officer at Rackspace" ? and found this comment on tech news site TechCrunch:
Google via Digital Inspiration
This is great news for stalkers websites ? if potentially not for you ? because comments can help boost a site's Google search ranking as long as Google is able to see those comments.?Previously, that wasn't possible as Google's search engine?couldn't read the code on comment engines powered by JavaScript within an?IFRAME ? an inline frame that holds content external to the host page.
This is no longer a problem.
"Googlebot keeps getting smarter. Now has the ability to execute AJAX/JavaScript to index some dynamic comments," Googler Cutts posted on Twitter following Digital Inspiration's discovery.
Technology marches on!
