If Google starts using these information about users without their consent (opt in) for ads it should expect a very loud public backlash. Google should give the people the choice and then explain the benefits of allowing the Google products using their informations. A clean screen explaining what is going to be used and how and what benefits it will give to the users. If Google treats its users as adults I expect that most users will be happy in letting Google use those information. <br /><br />The key points here are: the choice to use or not to use the information for improving search results should be made by users, the usage should be very transparent, and the benefits should be explained to users in a clear and understandable way to average users.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-51008576932936475322010-08-10T16:15:52.428-07:002010-08-10T16:15:52.428-07:00It is amazing that such resistance existed.

Can you imagine another company hesitating to take advantage of the user data for targetted advertising.<br /><br />Compare this to a cut throat company like Apple. It's nice that they have a conscience but it makes you wonder if they can compete. A conscience is an inconvenient thing in business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-36791868673473601542010-08-10T14:26:54.656-07:002010-08-10T14:26:54.656-07:00The WSJ article is an ill-worded mess harboring an...The WSJ article is an ill-worded mess harboring an agenda, there is so much speculation that one can't take it seriously, the real take away there is that Google has a conscience unlike other corporation.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
