They are getting a little scary with the recent purchase of DoubleClick. I think they will eventually force some sort of regulation, which also is unfortunate.Digitalnomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05365503932026525024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-90147652472124974412007-03-07T12:31:00.000-08:002007-03-07T12:31:00.000-08:00Good for you, Joshua.

Google Blogoscoped is an excellent blog, and I try to reduce the amount of duplication between my blog and Philipp Lenssen's blog.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the web history, this might seem a speculation, but it's not.

The same goes for Calendar and Bookmarks: No way to export anything.<BR/><BR/>Going Google is a one-way street and I don't see myself on this street for many more years. They'd have me by the nuts then.<BR/><BR/>I already moved my bookmarks to del.icio.us. For Mail and Calendar I'll probably get a hosted Exchange box (for versatibility). Docs & Spreadsheets will get covered by a future Microsoft online product or Zoho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-89694915792857327532007-03-06T23:12:00.000-08:002007-03-06T23:12:00.000-08:00I don't think it's all that scary at all.

A Google history would be well awesome.<BR/><BR/>I really can't see a privacy issue either. Our ISPs know everything we browse as well, but no one stops to think about that, or worries they could use it against us. As long as google stores my info securely, and lets me send it to them safely, I don't see what the difference is between them and anyone else - and if they can make my experience easier or faster, then more power to them I say.joshnunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265923022933120658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-44834490401892385572007-03-06T21:00:00.000-08:002007-03-06T21:00:00.000-08:00What do I think?I think that this is the understat...What do I think?<BR/><BR/>I think that this is the understatement of the week:<BR/><BR/>"Of course, a such a service would cause a big debate regarding privacy and trust, so it will be disabled by default."<BR/><BR/>Ya think?<BR/><BR/>So, what do I think?
