Google knows you oh so well
Alongside the surprise news that Google has bought a videoconferencing firm, the company's official blog has another revealing bit of info to share.
Google is bringing out something called Web History, which pretty much seems to do what it says on the tin. Basically it lets you access and search Google's account of everything you've been surfing on the web, which I guess would be handy if you surf across various computers.
However, this will surely feed the worries of those who already see Google as being too omniscient. Trying to see the plus side, I'd say Google already knows so much about our search habits that Web History at least lets us know how much they know about us. Or something like that.
Let the debate begin!
