Google's new privacy policy takes effect

Google's new privacy policy takes effect despite concerns.







         The changes mean Google will now save data and searches from users' accounts -- such as Google.com, Gmail, and YouTube -- in one place.
"As we understand it, the policy changes do not mean that Google is collecting more information about its users than it currently does. They do, however, mean that you are going to be using the information in new ways - ways that may make some users uncomfortable," Canada's privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart wrote.
The commissioner strongly recommends Google make the options for users to change their privacy preferences more clear. She also said it wasn't explained how long it will take personal information to be deleted when requested by a subscriber.
Users can't completely opt out of the new policy if they want to continue using Google services.
 The tussle over data privacy comes at a delicate time for Google, whose business model is based on giving away free search, e-mail, and other services while making money by selling user-targeted advertising.

App announces your Death on Facebook

Imagine a new App to announce your death.

Who would use this new App? Perhaps that  might be determined by whether you are a public or more private person. Those who want everyone to know everything about themselves  would problably consider this new service. Since others could write on their page freely, those very private individuals may feel that they don't want 'everything and more' about themselves viewed by others. Also cost may be a factor. If it is free or costs little, it may be favored over placing an obituary in the paper. As for myself, I think it needs further consideration, but at this time I probably would not use this service.
