Google owns my soul

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

While writing about moving domains to google apps, I got a little worried when I realised that Google owns my soul. For example, yesterday I noticed that google had recorded 8,600 web searches performed by myself, going back who know how many months or years. I must have ticked a box ...
