I didn't say that Google harmed people with their advertising, but you said that Facebook was problematic because it could be used as a marketing tool. I just wanted to make the point that Google is all about marketing. Google doesn't draw lines when it comes to digging for information about what you do and where you go on the web. I doubt that any other internet company is as invasive. That being said I like Google. But I have nothing to hide. Paul On Jul 12, 2011, at 9:12 PM, John Sessoms wrote:
