A colleague recently sent me link to the new FREE WEB SITE ANALYTICS TOOL from GOOGLE - and asked me what I thought…

Of course, my jaw nearly hit me in the nads - simply because the implications of what is going on with these guys is just unreal. All these tools they’re giving us ALL come with a price - your freedom.

Once they know everything about you - they will start bombarding you with messages that are tailored for HOW YOU LISTEN - thus, easier for you to be manipulated, and soon, yes, you WILL become one of the BORG. Resistance is futile. If we let this sort of thing continue.

Don’t resist - just don’t USE this stuff. Don’t give them your INFORMATION ( = GOLD ). They’ll stop. Their search function will be better off if they just focus on that.

Here’s a thread at TW asking the question: Is Google Analytics Evil?
