Eerie indeed given their existing vast bulk of personal data from emails to browsing habits. Now they want to be the portal to the entire web for people via Chromebooks and hold all their data. That makes the cynical part of me glad that Google+ hasn't been overly successful.
- idspispopd 14y agoSearch, Analytics, Plus, Mail, Android. Search & Analytics & Plus have allowed them to track you around the web. Mail & Plus have provided them with your real name, your relations/contacts and other personal details. Android gives them your phone number and location. I believe part of the reason they are so steadfast in having real names for Plus is because Mail wasn't 100% successful in getting the actual names of users. Everyone of their services is designed to gather a specific kind of information about the user. (Play a game and predict their next service based on the kind of information you'd expect them to want of you. I'm going with world wide payment systems.)
