Google

Google, the search engine giant, released a controversial service on Wednesday. “My Search History” is a service that stores a user’s personal Internet search history. The service also analyzes your search history and suggests other related webs sites and searches. “My Search History” is not available until you register for the service. Once signed up, it displays a calendar which lists the your report showing your activities. The service does allow you to suspend the feature or delete past searches. But…Google keeps all records (including deleted ones) to help them target advertising. In coming weeks it will be interesting to see just how many people opt for the convenient service “My Search History” offers vs. the protection of the privacy.
