Google Is Scary

Ok, maybe that's a little misleading. As we all know and love, Google is a search engine. It does the job so well, it's become a verb. I came across something on one of the social networking sites that caught my interest. There's a "feature" that lets you hide certain information. Mine is public and other people I know have theirs public too. I think it makes for better community and whatnot. I just thought it strange when I came across the first private one. It piqued my interest. Yes, I am aware that curiosity killed the cat, but I'm just curious by nature. I think it's in my jeans genes. Of course I fired up Google and did a search. It turns out the feature is useless. I got a nice list of what the feature was meant to hide. It also made me wonder why the person was hiding it. I didn't see any point in it. Google does its job of searching very well. A bit scary how well that is sometimes. I can imagine some government spook data mining using Google. (X_x) ちょっとこわい。
