In my post about Google releasing search plus your world I mentioned that Google is a Filter Bubble. Since then a few people have asked me about that so I thought I would post something here by way of explanation. The Filter Bubble is a book that I am currently reading all about how the information that comes into our world is tightly controlled by the bubble that things like Google and Facebook provide us. My experience of Google and Facebook is different to yours and we have no control over this. Anyway, it is a great book and I would highly recommend you check it out. You can get it on their website.

If you can't wait for the book to arrive then here is a TED Talk by the author of the book Eli Pariser:
