This Week\u2019s Industry News<\/h1>\n

Compiled By Rocket Clicks<\/h1>\n

Facebook Tracks You Whether You\u2019re Logged In Or Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In news sure to wake you from your ignorant Rip Van Winkle slumber, Facebook invades your privacy on levels previously unimaginable. That previous sentence may include some hyperbole, but the world\u2019s largest social network was recently caught with its hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.<\/p>\n

When you log out of Facebook, it apparently \u201calters,\u201d rather than deletes, your profile\u2019s tracking cookies. A Facebook engineer responded by basically saying \u201cIt\u2019s for the best,\u201d a la Kathy Bates in Misery, and \u201cWe would NEVER track you\u2026**winky face**.\u201d Obviously Mark Zuckerberg has some more splaining to do<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google News Attaches \u2018Standout\u2019 Tag To Certain Articles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unless you have HTML-ray vision and can see code instead of Google News search results, you won\u2019t notice the \u201cStandout\u201d tag Google is attributing to featured content. The tag is located in the HTML header of a page, and is based on Google\u2019s past tests of \u201coriginal-source\u201d and \u201csyndication-source\u201d tags to parse out properly sourced, quality content.<\/p>\n

The tag is added by journalists or editors to the page they deem \u201cstandout,\u201d which then results in a \u201cFeatured\u201d label on Google News results for the given article. The idea behind it is to give smaller, useful media organizations credit for breaking an important story. However, organizations have a seven tag cap each week, so editors are forced to pick the absolute best stories.<\/p>\n
