Had some controversy at the web 2.0 Non-Tekky brekky recently. About Google. Google is OK vs Google is not.
Are they beng evil?
Found this link today: www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_02.php#004400 Apologies. it was on one of a score of new blogs I dipped into when looking for something to help with a colour scheme, and I have no idea where I was.
By the way, this is aproaching my last post on this blog. Want to move to something with some different functionality. Plog is great. But I need more.
UPDATE: (3 April 2006) The issue is not privacy for me – it’s people using me to make money by tracking me (etc) and serving things up to me. Are there better search engines than Google? Should I be prepared to pay the price for havng Google?
AFTERWORD: (8 Dec 2006) I now use gmail. And last week I actually clicked on a link to do with Best Buys in cameras. I suspect the system noticed I have some correspondence on the topic and served them up appropriately.
