I’m watching Inside the Mind of Google on CNBC. Did you know there’s 2 billion Google searches done daily? That’s mad hits.
I found it super interesting thinking about what people put in that little search box.
Admit it, you’ve typed things in Google search would wouldn’t tell ANYONE; dirty secrets, naughty desires, sickness, infection. Everything.
Google’s got all those queries stored in their database. Imagine someone reading your Google list?
I learned Google’s been subpoenaed in heaps of court cases to get peoples Google search lists.
Basically, the lesson learned is if you don’t want someone to know, don’t Google it.
The US Patriot act states that law enforcement agencies can get Google’s access to your search terms. However, they’re made anonymous after 18 months but that doesn’t mean they can’t link your searches back to you.
Dogfooding is what they call testing Google products on all their 20,000 genius employees; using their own products in house.
The hour finished off talking about Adwords & I could have watched it all night.
I PVR’d it so I can watch it again.
I love Google, you know I do.
