Sync Google+ and Your Blog with the Google+Blog Plugin for WordPress
So, I just installed the Google+Blog plugin, on my main WordPress website. You know, the one that I take a look at every month or so.
Well, anyway, it's supposed to sync the website with my Google+ page/profile.
Let's see if this (originally posted on Google+) gets posted to the website…
15 seconds later…
Yup! It worked! http://wp.me/pz1CY-nz
Looks like it's just a one-way sync, from G+ to WP. However, the post on the site is updated, when the post on G+ is edited/deleted.

Facebook, WOT Partner to Protect Users
Facebook Protects Users from Untrustworthy Websites with Web of Trust Reputation Ratings
Web of Trust (WOT), the world’s leading crowd-sourced website reputation rating service, and Facebook, the Internet’s leading social platform, begin collaboration today to give Facebook’s over 500 million users reliable protection against dubious web links.

UPDATE: Google Sets a Trap and Catches a Bing!
I, and not by myself, have been saying for years, that Google is really the only search engine to which you need to submit your new website. Now, it’s been proven.
“The company [Google] grew wary of potential copycats in October 2010 when engineers noticed that bizarre misspellings were returning the same set of results on both Google and Bing searches.
Unsure, but suspicious, Google set up a trap. From December 17 to December 31, engineers inserted a “honeypot” result as the top result for specific search queries — including, hiybbprqag, mbzrxpgiys, and indoswiftjobinproduction — and waited to see if the same results would appear on Bing. Lo and behold, the identical results popped up.”
As this news gets out, I can only speculate that MSFT stock will feel a hit, from wary investors and from an expected loss of search revenue.
Tsk, tsk, Mr. Gates.
