There is a lot of talk about Google and privacy. The new privacy policy which has taken some 60 different policies and put them into one policy that addresses privacy across Google’s ever expanding universe of products and service. In this attempt to simplify things Google has created the usual turmoil that accompanies any discussion of online privacy.
Remember all the talk about how Google was going to give free high speed Internet to Kansas City, ahem, Kansas City, Kansas that is? Well, that goal hasn’t changed (in fact it has expanded to include Kansas City, MO as well) but apparently there is more to the logistics of the plan than originally met the eye. You had to think that this was too good to be true when you first heard it and now we find out that maybe it is.
There has been a lot of talk about Google developing a social product that we will see this fall (Google Me). Actually that talk was over the summer and since then there has been little talk at all. In fact, when it comes to the social front all of the talk has belonged to location based services in general with Facebook making announcement after announcement of their attempts to get their hand further into the social graph.
