Sunday, August 24th, 2008

How come i never saw this before !
with google history , you can track your web activity (time , date , image search , phrases etc …)

google-history

cool stuff eyh ?
One thing i had my eyes on , the following :

Get the search results most relevant to you.
Web History helps deliver more personalized search results based on the things you’ve searched for on Google and the sites you’ve visited. You might not notice a big impact on your search results early on, but they should steadily improve over time the more you use Web History.

  • Does that mean that google will change users search experience (for better or worse) ?
  • Should search engine optimizers be worried ?
  • What about the algorithm used ? saving our activity data hmmm
  • What about ……………………… privacy ?

am i scaring you yet ? lol chill .

anyway checkout google history .

“I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she’s too young to have logged on yet. Here’s what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say ‘Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?’”

i was listening earlier today to the Kim Komando radio show , among the topics covered was Online privacy & google .
Now most of us use google SE and its products ( google mail , google calendar , google ads , spread sheets & docs etc …), that includes bills , Credit card accounts , purchases , addresses , private chats … if we are “scanned ” which we might be then oly chit !

After listening to Kim i thought i’d give it a quick search on the topic and bumped into masterplanthemovie .
