Internet Privacy `Googled'?
Google Earth may be the `spy-in-the-sky' snooping on the globe, but Google itself has penetrated deep into individual privacy. One colleague, trying to confirm some information she received could not trace the top man of the company till she tried a random Google search. Lo and behold, the search threw up the man's Rotary Club membership card, his date of birth, wife's date of birth, the man's blood group, his mobile number as well as his residential phone number. No complaints from the colleague though. She spoke to him on his mobile and got the confirmation she was looking for. Privacy may be an issue, but Google has certainly made life a lot easier for journalists. *********
