Google is coming out with a new privacy policy. The three main things that the new policy has different from the old one is that Google is making their privacy policies easier to read, their aggregating data across products for Google and user experience, and their arguing that it's easier to just take your data and go somewhere else.
In the article I read, the guy was saying that, while some of the things in the new privacy policy were helpful, it was scary how much Google would be watching you and how much they would know about you. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/googles-new-privacy-policy-the-good-bad-scary/67893.
In my opinion, I have no problem with Google tracking my searches because I don't search anything I need to worry about others reading, but I do not agree with the fact that they will be looking at my emails. I'm not worried about what they will find there, I just feel that your email is a little bit more personal. I don't understand how looking through my emails is going to make their site any better unless they are working on being up to date with my friend in South Carolina or what my swim team is doing for practice tomorrow. Even though I feel this way, I'm still going to keep my gmail account as will many other people; maybe I'm lazy, but i like Google and feel that one odd change that they are making to there products is not enough for me to switch to Bing and a new emailing site.
