then things are going to get a lot worse with Google search results.

And things are going to get a lot worse with privacy.

We know they have a record of our search queries;

We know that Google keeps an historical record of our surfing history;

They know what YouTube videos we find of interest;

We know they read emails if you have a gmail account, or if you write to someone with a gmail account, and they keep a record of the keywords embedded within your message;

If you use Google maps, they know the kind of businesses you want to find;

We know that if you have websites, they have every word on those sites identified as your ownership;

And now we know that if you give a page a +1, that you did not end up on that page by accident. In fact, you have directly indicated your interest in that page, so that is a clear signal for your profile.

Google knows more about you than many of your best friends ~ let's hope they +1 like you.
