Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments 167
First time accepted submitter SharkLaser writes "Users of Facebook Connect have previously enjoyed extra privacy as it was harder for Google to index comments made on the platform. Google, which also runs the competing service Google+, has now started indexing Facebook's public comments as well as comments made on platforms Disqus and Intense Debate, which all used programming that was hard for Google to read. Public comments and links made on those platforms will now be directly visible and searchable in Google."

You seriously underestimate the hilarity of my cat.

Here's what's funny. Everyone said, "Facebook will crush Google+ by copying its public posting ability!"
Yet, Google was sitting there the whole time going, "Please copy us! Please! Please! Please!"
