How did google think I'm sharing that ?
mahesh2k:
I think you're not aware of the new changes in their privacy policy and new account management features. They used gmail contacts to send random G+ invitations to people last year. That is how I got invite from G+ from one of my friend who never shared anything on G+ but randomly system sent email to check one of his post to all his friends, post that never existed to begin with.
Google now diggs into G+, Reader, docs, gmail, contacts and calendar data to know more about you. Note that even if you delete google account, analytics will keep on logging data from X IP address and will continue to collect data.
Your google search while you're logged into the system will be based on your G+ circle, your friends activity in Gmail, search and G+. I shared a screenshot in google+ thread you can check out how annoying it is to have search influenced by friends and family.
rgdot:
If you have shared emmanuelcaradec.com all instances of it become "shared". Google's method doesn't distinguish site folder, subdirectories, etc. Not at this point any way.
The moment this went live all my site's older reviews became shared too eventhough they were written way before Google+ existed.
ecaradec:
Aaah, makes sense and is less scary... Good to know. Thanks rgdots.

Terrible, it looks that Google is at everywhere, as long as you leave some clue on Internet then you will be analyzed or even followed by it. :tellme:
