Well, I would like to begin by saying that it makes sense for the creators of websites to know when you have been on their site. I would imagine it is not only Google that knows us so well. Yes, they may know what I like as far as topics, pictures and videos I search for but does it really matter? They aren't going to use this information are they? There are people from my past who know my interests and I do not speak to them anymore. It's not a big deal. This is my opinion. For some people, it may be extremely creepy knowing that 'Google' knows all about them but for me, as long as the information is not used to harm me in any way, I'm fine with it! If you post a lot on a social networking site, many people can have access to that. They know what you are doing, who is in your family, how old you are, where you like to go and what you enjoy doing. This is kind of the same thing (except you know the people on Facebook and MySpace) but still, same concept!
I do not use the Internet for inappropriate reasons so I don't think I would be embarrassed knowing Google has seen what I searched for. For some people, this may be a problem. They should consider reading the article. Maybe there would be less pedophiles, stalkers and harassers on the Internet.
Google is the biggest and most popular search engine on the Internet. Therefore, SO many people use it! How is somebody going to remember that many people or worry about what Janie Sue ate for breakfast or where she goes every Summer? If somebody who works for Google plans a trip to go to that same vacation spot during the time when Janie Sue will be there, maybe a problem will exist then! Like I said, as long as the known information is not used for anything harmful to me or anybody else, let them know about my life, no problemo!
