Your title is slightly misleading – I knew the paper press editors did that with other people’s articles, to catch readers’ attention, but don’t bloggers have control over their titles?

If Google is going to spider documents that have already been made public by the author or by someone authorized the author, where is the problem? If business people don’t read carefully the sharing options beforehand, and are faced with unwanted public sharing, it’s their problem, and whether Google scans or not the document thus made public is irrelevant.

As to the need for more granular sharing options:
A) you can achieve that even with the for-free version of Google docs by making copies of a document (it takes one click) and adapting the sharing options for each; B) there are other sharing solutions: no one has to use Google docs.

By all means, we should watch out for the risks entailed by Google’s efficiency in spidering and in classifying data. But let’s not frighten people about non issues.

I thought any doc published to net and linked from some public site will anway be crawled, as that page (google doc) would not be distinguished from any other internet page. whats new here ?

Hello Matt – thanks for your feedback and I definitely here you on that. I’ll make sure keep that balance between attention grabbing but accurate headlines.

Cheers :)

“Yes, my heading was a bit sensationalized perhaps but have to create those exciting headlines right :)”

Personally for a news story I’d say it’s more important that the headline be accurate. :)
