These are two services I think are great! Igoogle since its a quick look at all things I want to look on one page. Gmail because I get to save all I want and get my mail from any computor and not worry about huge files being rejected from Hotmail etc when people send them to me since there is almost no limit. Now I know the downsides re ads and data mining(collecting info for the ads etc). Today though opened my eyes a tad. I was looking for something to add to IGoogle when I saw web history.While similar to my own browsers history (firefox) its more user friendly and keeps a 30 day calender that is colour coded by day tracking my useage patterns. Along with the web searches I have entered by names etc for the last while.It will let me upgrade this web history by my request to show all the resulting pages that I surfed through after I started drilling down for more info on my search. This info is not kept on my hard drive but somewhere in cyber space. Wow--massive info for all google users. Right now I think its cool and I may try expanded history to check it out---but wow the data they collect is amazing. Since I have squat to hide its not a issue but I think people it would surprise many on this data collecting Google does!
