Google: Accepting Inch, Taking Mile
How could this really be a good idea? One week ago, Google was just going to keep track of what you searched, but now they're in for the whole bagel. I'm not trying to be alarmist, and I'm sure Google has other things besides the sovereign privacy of the world's citizenry to plunder with each new tool, but I think it's important to note what Stewart at Ludicorp had to say in the panicked anti-Yahoo! backlash after Flickr's purchase.
Google is great, sure, but so was Yahoo! when they first hit the scene, and it seems to me that the sense of noble invincibility that now surrounds the geniuses at Google grows thinner with every creepy new announcement.
