Google’s Big Brotherish History Project

By Mark Evans | Published: April 22, 2007

In theory, the ability to look back at all the places you’ve been on the Web is a fascinating concept. It’s like look at a digital album showing every place you’ve been over the years, and how your surfing habits have changed. If this is something you’re curious about, check out Google History. While I can see the benefit of having easy access to you Web history, somehow the idea that Google has a database of everywhere I’ve been seems very 1984/Big Brother-ish. To get Google History, you need to sign on, have the Google toolbar on your browser and PageRank enabled. For more details, check out Ars Technica and the Google Blog.

    See this is why I stopped joining all of google’s side projects a long time ago. I knew it’d just fit into their “grand scheme” of things. Or maybe I’m just crazy.
