When one company has that much info about you, it's never a good idea. Last edited by Homeslice; 07-10-2011 at 07:43 PM.. |

I'm not happy about any of it, but it's become the payoff for living in the United States. Every company that gets their hands on your information sells of your information. A quick lexis nexis search will show you how little privacy you have anymore. Google's the easy target now, but there's a certain amount of control you have on what information is provided, especially on a social networking site that doesn't verify your validity. If they did, my Juan Estupido and Gunther Uberdyke accounts wouldn't exist.

Both Google and Facebook make their money from the information you give them. I prefer Google because so far they have been much more upfront with what information theyre gathering and what theyre doing with it and they give clear ways to opt out if you dont like it. Facebook has been much more shady. Plus, Google gives me free, useful, tools in exchange for my info (Android, Maps, Gmail, Earth, Reader...etc).

My Hotmail account is my main account. I only set up a Gmail account because Hotmail was down for a few hours a few years ago. So I don't get much sent there. Yes they would retain search info, thats just good business. What is it that you think they can do or will do? James

Never heard of it. Does it just find info on topics you like?

You put in subjects that youre interested in and it gives you a list of RSS feeds about that subject or you can put in sites that you frequent and every time theres a new post/story it shows up on your Google Reader feed. Its a way to browse a bunch of different sites in one window.
