What would you like to see show up when you search?

Originally shared by Chris Messina

Today at ,  Seth Sternberg and Ardan Arac announced that we'll soon be integrating Google+ Platform app activities [1] into Google Search. 

Soon, if you search for a site or app on Google.com (and that app has integrated with Google+ Sign-In app activities), you'll see popular and aggregate user activity next to search results. For example, searching for Fandango will show the top movies among Google+ users. And when you click on a movie, you’ll go directly to its page on Fandango.

I would like to report a problem with the +1 button on rtl.nl  The value of the 'annotation' parameter is incorrect.  This prevents the button from displaying.

Can you route to the appropriate technical contact? 

An example page where this failure occurs follows:

Thank you!

Last time we covered the curious case of "ke ha"

Today we have someone that's truly ungoogleable.  He's Matthieu Chedid, better known by his stage name "-M-" (that's dash, M, dash)  Go ahead, try searching for that, you won't find it on Google, Youtube, or Play.  Not even Dailymotion or Fnac.

This is sad because less people see and hear his high-energy rock&roll played on a pacman-ghost guitar.  Enjoy!
