Google vs. Yahoo: Whom to Trust?

OhmyNews International

Ironically, with all the talk about how unobtrusive using Google is (with the text-based ads and all), I find Google to be the most insidiously intrusive net company there is. If tuberculosis hadn’t gotten George Orwell, Google in 2005 surely would have. It’s frightening how much information they hold or have access to now. From the storage of every email message you ever send through Gmail, to everything on your personal computer with its desktop search, Google has its fingers dug in very deeply into your personal life.

It seems like Douglas gets the picture and understands the inherent danger in Google. Actually, from a web content publisher’s perspective I think there are superior products out there…especially for blogs. For instance Crisp Ads allows you to set your own key words. That way should I decide to type something out of the norm, the normal readers will still get ads based in what my sites are based on.
