| | I don't know about the robots, but who really knows. I do think that google is not really a spy, but is trying to take over the world just like Walmart and McDonalds it could be possable. Especailly now with Google Earth you can now really spy on anyone you want to, which I find rather disturbing.  |

You're only putting in a zip code, they know nothing else about you. If they wanted to send random robots to people houses, they'd randomly make up a zip code to go to

It's really scary how easy it is to find someone nowadays. Even if you know a number or person's name, you can trace it back and get a satellite picture with Google Earth. I'm a bit intimidated by it. If you search a person's name, their address and phone number will come up, as well as a link to send flowers to them. Freaky.

"they know it and they write it down." Somehow I doubt google have a bloke sat in an office somewhere with a pen & a bit of paper recording postcodes  I cant see the problem myself - postcodes do not identify a single residence. Take tower blocks for example - 60 different apartments could all share the same postcode.

well this is a good topic.. google does have alot of access to getting alot of information from our sites our forums. and so on.. But is their intent. to use it against us as a spyware.. or are they infact not releasing info, or snooping around into our private info.. its really easy to point fingers and as a matter of fact you can pretty much point fingers at every site you visit, every program you use.. casue you have no idea if they are colelcting ifo on you or not but you can assume theat they are or that they are not..

Hmm.. my mom was talking about how there was this article about Google posting everything you searched for. I love Google, but it IS the information age, and Google keeps records of what goes on at their site, right? It depends on how they use it to determine if Google is a spy.. I'd have to see articles for myself. But if Google really did post all the stuff you searched for, then I would be pretty mad. It's an invasion of privacy..

this was a beginning of something good to come. So I started making my site better. I got a

Life Before Google

use before the invasion of Google? I remember using a site called Metacrawler and that it
wasn't the most effective thing ever for what I was looking for, but it worked nonetheless. I
remember using yahoo too but again, it wasn't that refined back then either. Pos....
