It found 66% don't restrict any details of their personal profile from being visible through a public search engine, and more than 50% aren't sure who can see their profile pages. Moreover, 33% include at least 3 key pieces of personal data on those pages. The survey's findings come as online hangout Facebook simplifies its privacy controls so it's easier for users to restrict access to their pages. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20090702/tc_pcworld/dojofficiallyopensinvestigationintogooglebooksearch pcworld/20090702/dojofficiallyopensinvestigationintogooglebooksearch PC World technology Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:30:13 GMT PC World - The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed on Thursday that it is investigating a settlement involving Google Book Search for possible antitrust violations, following months of speculation that the agency had its eye on the service. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ibd/20090702/bs_ibd_ibd/20090702industry ibd/20090702/20090702industry Investor's Business Daily business Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:12:51 GMT Investor's Business Daily - When Sohu.com, a leading Web portal in China, announced plans last year to spin off its fast-growing online games business, investors balked. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20090702/tc_pcworld/askcombetsonsemanticsearchtargetingspecialaudiences pcworld/20090702/askcombetsonsemanticsearchtargetingspecialaudiences PC World technology Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:40:14 GMT PC World - In the past eight months, Ask.com has unfurled a set of changes to its search engine that the IAC unit calls a success, although its share of U.S. search queries has actually shrunk during that time period. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090702/tc_afp/usitcompanyinternetmicrosoftbingtwitter afp/20090702/usitcompanyinternetmicrosoftbingtwitter AFP technology Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:29:28 GMT <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090702/tc_afp/usitcompanyinternetmicrosoftbingtwitter"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/afp/20090702/capt.photo_1246552141575-1-0.jpg?x=130&y=88&q=85&sig=6O00AZkLD6WqHQtFK7qNbg--" align="left" height="88" width="130" alt="Microsoft is integrating messages from prominent users of Twitter, the hot micro-blogging service, into the results generated by its new Internet search engine Bing.(Twitter)" border="0" /></a>AFP - Microsoft is integrating messages from prominent users of Twitter, the hot micro-blogging service, into the results generated by its new Internet search engine Bing.</p><br clear="all"/> <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090702/tc_afp/usitcompanyinternetmicrosoftbingtwitter"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/afp/20090702/capt.photo_1246552141575-1-0.jpg?x=130&y=88&q=85&sig=6O00AZkLD6WqHQtFK7qNbg--" align="left" height="88" width="130" alt="photo" title="Microsoft is integrating messages from prominent users of Twitter, the hot micro-blogging service, into the results generated by its new Internet search engine Bing.(Twitter)" border="0"/></a></p><br clear="all"/> (AFP) http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20090702/bs_nf/67510 nf/20090702/67510 NewsFactor business Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:13:46 GMT NewsFactor - Bing is now doing Twitter.

There's a good reason for this aura of mystery. Google Voice got its start as a phone service called GrandCentral, which the search giant bought in 2007. It's been in beta ever since -- but unlike other Google betas that are open to the general public, this one was limited to former GrandCentral users and a select group of industry elite. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090626/bs_nm/us_google nm/20090626/us_google Reuters business Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:56:14 GMT <p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/search/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090626/bs_nm/us_google"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/rids/20090626/i/r1352237472.jpg?x=100&y=130&q=85&sig=a8RpgEUkCjw3ecRiNroQDA--" align="left" height="130" width="100" alt="Google Inc Chief Executive Eric Schmidt attends a session at the Cannes Lions 2009 International Advertising Festival June 26, 2009.
