I have several online identities (3 main ones for different purposes, all with their own gmail account- real name for serious stuff, soleille for all the fun internet stuff and another one for stuff I want to keep private and absolutely not associated with me) - I'm really careful at keeping them separate, but it's harder to remember that being logged in into an email account can associate every search query with your real name- a very scary concept, but it isn't evil, just demands a bit more effort on your part.<BR/><BR/>I actually like google's targeted ad stuff, mostly it is right on spot and useful, but I always need to remember not to do the anonymous-account-related queries with my full-name-address logged in somewhere :O)<BR/><BR/>What I hate about all the google services is that when you want to access GDocs or calendar or whatever, the "remember me" box is ticked by default- *I* remember to uncheck it, but working in an internet cafe I see a lot of people who leave boxes like "save password and log me on automatically" on messengers on public computers ALL the time...if you want to "do no evil", I think you should protect your users from their own stupidity sometimes.<BR/><BR/>That said, most privacy fiascoes are self-made through carelessness and lack of data hygiene. <BR/>It's not a google account conspiracy that enabled an IT employer to confront an interviewee (a few years back) with images projected on the wall during the interview: one of him drinking beer, the next one of him barfing!<BR/>The young man in question did get the job, btw, but I bet he learned something about protecting his privacy and NOT posting embarassing photos through an account that pops up when you search for his name!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-50718012290403438672007-03-22T08:57:00.000-07:002007-03-22T08:57:00.000-07:00Sounds like the logical thing to do, converging al...Sounds like the logical thing to do, converging all the logins, it used to be a mess.

The thing is, privacy as we can say... An illusion. But on some levels, they are true.<BR/><BR/>What makes Google that suspicious is that their mission (as they assume) is organizing the world's information, this of course requires more than just a crawler to index webpages.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you're right about the real purpose behind Gmail, but along that, it doesn't seem feasible to me. Gmail is really huge, in its storage space, in its simple yet sophisticated design. A huge weight of energy and ideas have been put. Besides the money of course.<BR/><BR/>Google is one-of-a-kind competitor, MSN and Yahoo are 2 well-known portals. The idea of a portal actually never worked for me and never provided a matter of usability. They do offer Email, free blogs, etc... And Google is just yet another one, but with its own style, that's the thing I think.<BR/><BR/>It's not about keep you logged in, it's about keeping you bound to what they offer. OK, bound maybe sounds rude a bit... They basically want you stuck with their stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1157100961278165922006-09-01T01:56:00.000-07:002006-09-01T01:56:00.000-07:00Not a conspriracy theory.

Just business.<BR/><BR/>The more information [Google, Yahoo, Windows Live, etc] records about a user, the more targeted and effective their advertisements are.<BR/><BR/>The more programs and applications they release, the more "adspace" they have to run their messages.<BR/><BR/>For example, Google veiws releasing a new program like adding a mini-billboard creator to display their ads (which will be seen by hundreds of millions of people).<BR/><BR/>This is why Google services all revolve around content generation (picasa, blogger, pagemaker, etc)...they all rely on the user to upload information that they can use as a billboard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487095083104501135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1157077184889455442006-08-31T19:19:00.000-07:002006-08-31T19:19:00.000-07:00i think we should have layers of passwords for eac...i think we should have layers of passwords for each division, because i use different passwords as it is at different placesDouglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137509949959734226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1157071896698888312006-08-31T17:51:00.000-07:002006-08-31T17:51:00.000-07:00Ew.

Scary!<BR/><BR/>Why are people scared of Google? What about Yahoo! and Microsoft? Aren't they trying to do the same thing that Google's doing? Yahoo & Microsoft's privacy policies are almost exactly like Google's privacy policy. They also provice blogging + photo storage services.<BR/><BR/>Should we "spread" our info?
