[LINK] Understanding Google's new privacy policy

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Google appears to have upgraded their profile feature. I just updated mine
via Google Maps - it let me add links to websites and email addresses. It
also invited me to provide my relationship status and other personal info
(none of which did I feel inclined to provide - however, many others do
feel compelled to maintain and disseminate this kind of information on 
facebook.)

It was pretty hard to find my public google profile - possibly, because I
already have such a high profile on the Internet. In the end, I did a
search "Marghanita site:profiles.google.com" and got:
<https://profiles.google.com/110241308026236585465#110241308026236585465/about>
