Now Google knows where I am (I think they already knew)

So today Google launched yeat another cool service called Google Latitude that can track where you and you’r friends are so that you can find/spy on you friends/enemies (always remember to keep the close). Should I ever aquire my dream phone I shall immediately start using also this service, bringin my usage of Google services/applications up to about, eh, well lets see what we have:

1. Gmail – They know who I mail and get mail from
2. Picasa Web Albums – They have my family photos
3. Google Maps – They know where I have been and where I want to go
4. Google Earth – Same as above
5. Google Reader – They know what news I read
6. Google Talk – They know my chattings
7. Webmaster Tools – They know about this blog
8. Google Docs – They know my private and not so private writings
9. Google Book Search – They know what books I have been searching and reading
10. Google.com – They know what I search for at 2 am on a saturday
11. Youtube – They know what makes me laugh
12. iGoogle – They know what my homepage is and what it looks like

So there I have it, 12 services that I use on a day to day basis. I now see that this is recording my every move, action, thought and communication. All in all I think even Stasi would have been impressed on what Google is managing to intercept, at the user’s own agreement.  From now on I see that it’s easier to categorize what Google doesn’t know about me instead of what they do know. Thank God they’r not some supersized global american corporation that wants to make money……….

But they don’t know what colour my underwear is right know! Ha! Take that mr. Google
