Its one of the reason I dont use their indexing\toolbar software... Yep its actually quite scary. :eek:

Something to try -- go to google, type in your Real full name. Sometimes You may get a shock at the answers, as to where you are listed for anyone to see / find.

I am, so I thought, fairly carefull with google. That said I google a lot with being loged in to my account which gives them a possible trace to the clicks on the web.
When I googled about the indexing I came accross a page(old) which was not so convinced about the indexing though.:confused:

Put it this way, google don't give their goodies away for free for no reason, its all about the advertising. In my personal opinion google is the new ms and getting to big for its boots.
And people think apple is evil

It doesn't matter who you do that with, google,bing,duckduckgo or what ever you will be surprised.

They are nothing like MS and it worries when people have such short memories that they can even think that.

Or is it more of a case these days a person wont be surprised as to where their name is found on the Internet. Just did a search for my wifes name -- I see shes an Administrator according to her job description, thats only partly correct. ;) wainuitech (129)

No short memory here, don't use ms for that very reason
