In a radical privacy policy shift, Google announced today that it will begin tracking users across all services—email, Search, YouTube and more—sharing information with no option to opt out. The change was announced in a blog post today, and will go into effect March 1.

I have GMail on my Nook Colour, and I went to search something online when I realized it had imported my searches from my computer. That’s right, it had SAVED my searches and then sent them to another device without any permission.

reblogging this to remind myself to read further on this

Be careful what you search for. =/

Do you think Chrome incognito blocks this? That would be a bit weird, using a Google product to bypass a Google product…

It’s sharing info with other Google services. I’m not sure how this is a bad thing. They didn’t say that they were sharing all this info with third parties like Facebook did. They’re not doing anything more than consolidating information, from what I can tell. So yeah, I don’t really see how this is a problem. So long as they aren’t selling me information out to third-parties, I don’t really care that they’re consolidating their services. It actually makes my life easier.
