Google

I enjoyed reading this article. I followed a similar progression to using many of Google's features. And as for a large corporation kind of controlling my life, I believe Carr said it rather well: "If Google owns me, it’s probably because I am in favor of what works"

    hahaha that's pretty funny.

    it was a good article though!

    as for privacy vs. utility, what a tough line to draw. when am I going to be offended by actions of google? On a lesser scale, remember how upset we would get when facebook gradually became more intrusive?

    another interesting tech thing I saw today: on the NYT page was a box sponsored by LinkedIn. It said "Headlines for Healthcare Professionals, and via the "what's this?" link I learned that the "Headlines displayed here are customized for based on your LinkedIn profile."

    I thought this was pretty cool, but I hesitated before concluding that I enjoyed because wow..NYT and LinkedIn can be connected like this? There are disclaimers about privacy and the option to opt-out.
