Eric Schmidt: “The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance”

February 2nd, 2013

Why?

 “Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.”

And who is coding those search results, may I ask. Schmidt’s prediction is in fact a self-fulfilling prophecy.
