Google Changes....
« on: March 01, 2012, 10:12:09 AM »
Since the change goes into effect today, how many are changing search engines (google), email (gmail), video hosting (youtube), and other google owned services?

If you are changing what will you be using now?

Wow, ya'll don't watch the news much....

Shuff, I don't have any gmail, google, or active youtube accounts, but use google and youtube without having an account or signing in... I had heard that they're only going to collect and store all this data on account holders' habits and activities who are actually signed in.... if you were concerned about privacy "just don't sign in." Is that your take as well?

Only the paranoid know about the changes.

Basically they are doing what everyone else has been doing for 10 years.

If your worried about privacy now, its too late. Best if you just move off into the mountains and never.come back hoping nobody sees you go.

That's what I understood as well.  Before it went live, there was an area in their control panel to erase all of your past browsing history, so I did that.  Everything they had was from my phone, not from my PCs.

This is true. However if you have an android phone and gmail and have it connected to your mail... then your tracked all along with any other things.  Today I've been googling bing and other search engines when I do a search. lol Not that I am signed in when googling on my computer.

This is incorrect. Some don't mind others tracking them. Some do. Doesn't hurt watching what others can get about you. Those that don't care may care at a later time when info gets used improperly.

Erasing that will mean it is totally off the charts in 14 months. That is unless they made a once off change.
