First, the findings are nothing new, at least for those who actively think about Google.

Second, recently I have been thinking a lot about the massive knowledge Google has over businesses. This could actually kill them. Why? Think about someone at company XYZ doing research on a certain topic. Maybe over a period of time. If Google was interested to see upcoming product strategies at XYZ, a look into the search queries might provide valuable insights. I think, company IT administrators will see more requests (from their top management) to block access to Google in 2008 and 2009 (and it is OK that way).

Google is evil. Definitely.
