Google Dashboard Lists Account Info to Calm Privacy CriticsGoogle made another move to assuage the concerns of privacy critics Nov. 5, with the Google Dashboard, which provides a summary of the application data associated with Google accounts. This is a fine feature, particularly for folks like yours truly who use a swath of Google Web services and want a faster way to manage them. January 28, 2009

Consumer Watchdog Thinks Google Is Really Greedy or Foolish or BothGoogle may weather the recession better than anyone else, but it's not in the position to abuse the public's health records without severe recrimination. Most people who follow Google know this and believe it to be true, which is why I think Consumer Watchdog has fallen prey to the poison being poured into its ears. December 23, 2008

Consumer Watchdog Demands Zero Data Retention from GoogleConsumer Watchdog calls for zero months, as in zero data retention, if consumers wish it so. Court and Simpson used Ask.com's AskEraser service as the template for how zero retention can be done. Hmmm. Considering Ask.com has become the punchline to jokes about failed search engines, I'm not so sure Consumer Watchdog is winning any favor with Google on that one. December 18, 2008

Yahoo's Data Retention Move Puts Pressure on Google, MicrosoftI believe that Microsoft and Google are privately furious at Yahoo for lowering the bar for search engine user data retention to three months. Microsoft is at 18 months, Google at nine months. Yahoo's move will increase pressure on Google and Microsoft to reduce their retention periods, perhaps even before they meet with the EC group in 2009. How long before Google and Microsoft shorten their time frames? December 17, 2008

Yahoo, Not Google, Moves Search Data Match Closer to an EndgameThere will be big changes afoot regarding user data retention in 2009, with Google, Yahoo and Microsoft succumbing to their already softening stances on retaining our data. We will see a glut of innovation, with the companies' search algorithms giving us similar or superior results based on our searches without storing and picking over our search queries, IP addresses and cookies. |
