Google Privacy

Check out this funny video about Google Privacy on Dylan Fuller's blog.

I was thinking recently, if you use lots of Google services then they know:
- what you're email people (gmail)
- what you're searching for
- where you'll be and when (google calendar)
- how you'll get there (google maps)
- how much traffic you get (google analytics)
- how much money you make (google checkout)
- your main documents (google docs)

If Goggle offered to buy your startup then in due diligence you would ask THEM from information ;-).

Apparently internal project selection at Google is fully automated. I wonder if they will automate the company acquisition process soon?  You may get a mail saying:
"Your company dotbiz.net has been automatically chosen as an acquisition target by our algorithms.  To confirm you would like to sell your company for 3 squillion dollars, please follow this link."
