Google Web History

Posted by Matthew Berman On June - 20 - 2008

Not many people know about Google web history. I personally do not like the fact that Google knows everything about your searches. They know every search you’ve made in the past 2 years, and everything about it. They have research scientists to analyze this data and make predictions about you. I am not a spook or anything, but that does make me a bit nervous.

That being said, there is one very cool feature that does not require much data about a person to calculate. Google tracks the number of searches you have made as long as you have been in there system (or up to 2 years I believe). They display this information on a calender and you can get an idea of when you search most often during the month. Enough talk, check out my search activity calender. I’ve made 7,000 searches:). How many have you?

I’ve also heard that the big G keeps deleted emails and documents on file for 6 months. Who knows what they are up to… My guess is mining all that data to build a better search engine.

@Jason

yea, all they do at Google is mine data, that’s why they are so far ahead of everyone else.
