I have never found it that scary, but I also don't have any world-changing secrets. I always wonder what other people's privacy holds that they think Google would be interested. Obviously it's just a principles thing, but I suppose it's just not one of my principles!

The only reason I would not give the world to Google is because variation is stronger than homogeneity, and I'd hate to see them become a dictator or accidentally destroy every banking platform at once.

This is the very reason I'm giving Bing a try. I think I like Google better for most things, but I don't really want to live in a world with ONE right answer to every question. Variation in the spice of life.
