All Along, Google's Been Googling Me

I thought Facebook knew too much about me, but it turns out Google is even worse.

Google, like Facebook, makes its money by targeting ads at us that reflect our interests and needs. The more both know about us, the better they're able to target us with ads we're likely to click.

But Google knows a lot more about me than I thought - plenty more than Facebook.

Since I created a Google account - I use Gmail and Google Docs for my rental-property business - I have freely provided Google with lots of personal information.

Not only does Google keep extensive data on the searches you've conducted and the websites you've visited, it likely knows where you are at this moment - and everywhere you've been.
