Does Google Control Your Life

Posted on November 6, 2009

It really is quite astonishing how much Google knows about our businesses, personal lives, search habits and even what we like to do on the weekend – if you are signed in to your Google account that is.

And behold the new Google Dashboard that was launched recently. Scary is just one word.

The Google Dashboard essentially summarises everything you search for or do within all the Google products that includes:

  • Gmail
  • Calendar
  • Docs
  • Web History
  • YouTube
  • Orkut
  • Picasa
  • Reader
  • Alerts
  • Talk

Is not concerning to people that Google knows what pictures you store in Picasa, what news articles you like to tune in to, what video’s you like to watch and who is emailing you? Given this, it is little wonder they have come up with Google Wave – set to revolutionise the world of communication.
