  • Not in the slightest. It's a free service, no different than MSN or Yahoo, neither of which stores any less than Google does. If you're afraid, don't use the service, period.

  • Only Google?

    Corporations, starting with credit card companies, know more about us than our parents (or spouses) ever hope to know.

  • So much stuff is posted on Facebook that is so much more potentially damaging than anything Google could store. Come on, lighten up.

  • Is this a joke? You're asking if google stores too much info and to answer I need to tell you which Metro I live near?!

  • Not yet. When Google demands I get a tracking chip implanted in my skull, then I'll worry.

  • No, I don't worry; but, it is a little frightening to think about how much information is available on the web about everyone. Recently, I looked up some people that I hadn't seen in twenty years or more. I found their addresses, telephone number and the name of the person they had married. I was able to get in touch with every one of them.

  • After reading Nancy's post, I wish to correct my prior comment. Google is evil incarnate!

  • I don't understand why Google doesn't face anti-trust scrutiny like Mircosoft. The EU dost much better oversight/regulation than here in the US.

  • Actually, I think it's kind of creepy.
    Of course, there's Google Earth where, with the street cameras you can potentially see into the windows of unsuspecting individuals homes or what's hanging on their clothesline and what car they drive. At least they've started to blur license plates.

  • Unemployment is over 10% as today’s numbers show and we are talking about Sesame Street and Google.

  • "Unemployment is over 10% as today’s numbers show and we are talking about Sesame Street and Google. "

    Yes, I'd say it's a nice diversion. I mean we all know unemployment remains high and the news is already saturated with doom and gloom.

    Big Bird and Ernie both love you, too!

    Have a great weekend!

  • Why worry? For anywhere between $10-50, I can buy your credit header (name address, phone, etc) off of any number of websites that look people up for you. Google is nto the only site tracking information on people.

  • I, for one, welcome our new information overlord.
