I agree with a lot of what this article is saying. Sharing everything by default is pointless and misses the point of sharing.
I want to share something with my friends because I think it might inspire them or make them happy. Or, in the case of news, let them know about important stuff that's happening in the world. They do the same thing when they share with me.
So to blindly share everything just creates a lot of noise. If everything is shared by default, you'll need to start sifting out the signal from the noise. Which is annoying because I trust my friends to only share stuff that's relevant.
We all love lolcats but know how to find them on our own.
I disagree. I feel we shouldn't have to have an extra step to share what we search for. The act of searching can be sharing and also in itself what people search. I do agree facebook is the wrong medium to achieve this though, google maybe; it needs to be at the browser level and open sourced as much as possible.
I don't know. I mean imagine google sharing a post in google+ whenever you run a search query on their search engine? Perhaps, you would like to qualify the type of search? There are various levels of specificity of searches and you refer to those deep,precise levels? In that case, i can see the point.
