This would be good for April 1 except that these results are true. People do say that Facebook is leading enterprise 2.0, Twitter, and social media as a cause of many social and health problems, forgetting that correlation is not causation.
Inspired by the post, The Things That Facebook Causes, According To Google, Yahoo & Bing, in SearchEngineLand, I wondered about the effects of other social media. Other people have been commenting on this including the Daily Telegram.
First, let’s look at Facebook. The post mentioned many dire things that Facebook is supposed to cause according to Google searches and the content that comes up. So I tried the experiment myself. You can see the results below as – Facebook causes – in the Google search field prompts these suggestions: Facebook causes divorce, application, depression, donations, internet explorer to crash, app, jealousy, problems, statistics, and cancer.
I am sure some feel the IE crash as the worst problem leading to the others. Now some of these results actually link to stories about the dire consequences of Facebook. Other show the shortcomings of the literal nature of Google search returns and link to stories about noble causes that Facebook supports as you can see in the two returns below for the search Facebook causes cancer, one of the associations above. This first story is about how Facebook can raise your risk of cancer but the second one is about: Causes on Facebook – the campaign for cancer prevention.
So what about other related topics? I have written about how social media can be addictive and some have major concerns about the troubles that enterprise 2.0 might cause. I also asked if Twitter was like going out for a smoke. So I looked. Google did not suggest that social media causes anything. I got same result for enterprise 2.0. I am sure it is just the popularity of Facebook that causes all these ills to be described to it while the others are getting less attention. But there is hope. I looked at Google on – social networking causes -and found it linked to depression (and nothing else).
I did ask here on April 1 if Google will make us stupid? That post was based a real question Pew asked in its future of the internet survey. I said no then and will also say the Facebook and social networking are not the culprits here, just the people who use them. Google will only make us stupid if we simply accept what we find there.
