Google. Friend or Foe?

I've been spending a lot of time with Google lately. Searching, GMail, Analytics, and Sitemaps. The tools are cool, and best of all they're completely free. But what is the cost of free?

Some people see Google as a evil big brother organization, assembling information of our every move and hoarding it away forever. That might not be too far from the truth in some cases. That said, the tools are still cool and if used properly you can still get much of their benefits while retaining most of your anonymity.

Over a couple of my next few post I'm going to take a brief look at some of the services offered, what they can provide you with, and any associated risks to your privacy if they exist.

Up next...Google Analytics.
