Google Plus Please Learn from My Mutes

Muting a Post on Google Plus is easy.  Don't like a post, no problem...click the mute button.


But, What If Your Mute History "Taught" Google Plus About What You Don't Like...


What I would love to see is the ability for Google Plus to learn from my previous mutes. Similar to how Pandora Radio works. The reader (in the case of G+) provides positive or negative feedback for posts in the stream, which are taken into account for future selections. Something like a "mute similar posts" button would be great.

Mute Google Plus Posts Consistently...


I almost always mute posts involving certain subjects. Especially when exploring the "What's hot and recommended" stream.

Improved Google Plus Content...


Content creators could also get a better feel for how unpopular certain subjects are, and based on number of mutes, adjust the subject matter or frequency of posts.

Better Google Plus User Experience...


I am still trying to better navigate the flowing waters of Google Plus streams.  Being able to personalize content based on my mute history would make for a much more efficient journey.  At least IMHO.

Universal Search / Blended Search

If I had to recommend one thing regarding SEO/inbound marketing...embrace the social media tools like blogging, Twitter , Facebook, YouTube, etc. Google is transforming the way it ranks content: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_google_algorithm/ You can already get a hint at what's on the horizon with universal or blended search (Websites, video, images, local maps, and even social "mentions"). According to Google, "The ultimate goal of universal search is to break down the silos of information that exist on the web and provide the very best answer every time a user enters a query." If a potential customer has a question...it makes sense to provide Google with your "very best answer".

Bacon Wrapped Strip Steak

Bacon Wrapped Strip Steaks My first attempt at cooking bacon-wrapped steaks on my propane-fueled Weber grill.  They turned out great! I started by prepping the steaks. I seasoned them with a bit of salt and pepper. Next, I wrapped each steak with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. I grilled them for about 6 minutes on each side until the bacon was crispy and the meat cooked to a medium rare temperature. I removed the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then, I sliced them into thin strips and served them up. The bacon-wrapped strip steaks were delicious. It was the perfect summertime meal! The bacon added a salty and smoky flavor to the juicy and flavorful meat.
