Ask HN: What do you think Google will use as ranking factors in 2013?

Google's chairman Eric Schmidt has said that they might use an author's reputation to rank content written by that author. I believe that they might also use other kinds of signals like browsed pages, watched youtube videos, etc etc when signed in to Google+. I would love the input of the HN community on what Google might actually use to "purify" search results.

I find this a bit ironic. Very sad, but also very ironic.

They are supposed to replace your bluetooth... well, also your phone... mmmm.... as a matter of fact also your notebook.... now that I think about it also your Facebook since it integrates exclusively with Google Plus... mmmm... Oh i know, they are supposed to replace real life! :D

It is acceptable if you want to look like the geekish guy in town (not to mention one of the luckiest). It is not ok if you wish to hookup, I cannot image a pickup line that starts... "hey Pamela, I did a reserve google image search of your face and found out that you use pretty neat lingerie" :/

I was also puzzled. It seems like an attempt to describe an epic moment when in reality is just an awkward one.
Oh my God, what a great idea! I am going to start doing this.
Actually to me, the biggest takeaway from this is the fact that Google is killing online privacy by giving an easy bait to content marketers to publicly disclose their identity.

One time I got in the homepage, OMG my server was exhausted! I was so happy looking at the stats, it was incredible. No I was not contacted by investors but I was very pleased with the traffic. Oh, and the Google bot was extraordinarily happy with my content too.
Re:Ask HN: what do you do when you feel down? on Friday February 01, 2013 @07:39PM (#5154515)
Go to your local superstore, buy a jalapeno or if you are a daredevil a habanero pepper. Give it a bit. I know, it might burn and may make you cry but studies show that chiles help release powerful endorphins that have cured even my most intense moments of depressions. Prozac? ha! I got something way more effective and cheaper. :D

Re:Ask HN: how do I get an H1B visa and job in the US? on Friday February 01, 2013 @07:34PM (#5154497)
I would advice you to wait until immigration reform is passed. The process of hiring foreign nationals with computer skills will be greatly improved due to the growing concern than America is falling behind in technology.
