Simon Black over at SovereignMan.com wrote up a nice piece about all of the breadcrumbs (data bits) that we leave behind as we travel the web:
“We all know that Google is in bed with the government… I suppose it’s nice that CEO Eric Schmidt is at least open about it.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Schmidt effectively admits that Google archives everything about a user– web searches (google), email and contact lists (gmail), online office documents (google docs), photographs (picasa), text and voice messages (google voice), and even a user’s current location (google maps).”
Need some privacy? He’s got some great suggestions and resources. Check it out.

The tasty bits being:
The generous explanation for Schmidt’s statement is that he’s revolutionized his thinking since 2005, when he blacklisted CNET for publishing info about him gleaned from Google searches, including salary, neighborhood, hobbies and political donations. In that case, the married CEO must not mind all the coverage of his various reputed girlfriends; it’s odd he doesn’t clarify what’s going on with the widely-rumored extramarital dalliances, though.
