   Google routinely represents to consumers that documents stored on Google servers are secure.!
   Google also explicitly assures consumers that "Google Docs saves to a secure, online storage facility . . . without the need to save to your local hard drive." !
   Google encourages users to "add personal information to their documents and spreadsheets," and represents to consumers that "this information is safely stored on Google's secure servers." Google states that "your data is private!!

   Thanks for the heads-up, hotdoge3. (chuckle)...That's why I always take the wait-and-see stance before trying out new things, be they Internet, or real-world.

   This is some of the best info you've posted yet hotdodge, so most all of us have a gmail account. We all will get that pop up asking us to sign up for GBuzz when we sign in the first time and they know most of us will try it.

   I figure every one else will be like me initially and not consider the implied ramifications. It looks like a supped up reader with the ability to talk to other people. Talk about Trojan Horse!

   This is way to much power for a 3rd party group to have that we know nothing about and were trusting google to have taken care of the legal ramifications.

   I'm not a conspiracy theory person, but I almost feel like this is a government controlled company with a company logo. If you remember they were working with google before getting intel, but that all stopped cause the public found out.
   Now they just repackage the program open a business, so google isnt responsible anymore and guarantee that they wont be indicted.

   I dont know, but to give a no company something with so much power is fishy.

   I personally dumped a couple of not-interested mailing list at my old gmail account soon after I got it, then never revisited it. google may have some neat stuff but the data mining and personal privacy invasion keeps my interest at bay. I got google sharing as soon as I could to confuse what tracking I couldn't block with noscript.

   Google knows you. It knows what type of car have. It knows that you like Mexican food from all the times you've looked on Google Maps. And Google knows how to leverage this type of information with services like Google AdWords, AdSense, and DoubleClick Ad Exchange.

   Hot Dog: I went to that link and all it shows is a few items (searches), dating back to 2007, nothing since then.

    The Firefox Addon for the GoogleSharing system. GoogleSharing ultimately aims to provide a level of anonymity that will prevent google from tracking your searches, movements, and what websites you visit.

    By default, the GoogleSharing addon proxies requests for appropriate Google services to a GoogleSharing proxy that is operated and maintained by the GoogleSharing team. No user information of any kind (IP addresses or URLs visited) is logged by the proxy.
