Engineers from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have released a bookmarklet called “Don’t Be Evil” for the Google Chrome browser. A bookmarklet is a bit of code that runs in a Web browser and temporarily enables added functionality. This one adds more social search results to Google’s new Search Plus Your World feature. DBE uses Google’s own relevance measure to determine the additional social content that its developers say should appear in the areas where Google+ results are currently hardcoded. Clicking on it reorders search results to include information from other social networks.
