Google new e-mail service
Posted On Monday, June 18, 2007 at at 08:17 by rk rishikesh sinhaWhat is a piquant situation – We believe on Google as much we don’t believe in ourselves? Google’s products like gmail, groups, orkut, calender and spreadsheets, news alert, picasa, reader, notebook, pagecreator, maps etc. are few of the names that has been leaving a indelible stamp on all internet users, youngsters especially.
Of all the majority of the net users, if one goes by the Orkut demographic report – 59.03 percent are in the age group of 18 to 25 years and 11.23 percent falling under 26 to 30 years.
Now Google new e-mail services to the students of the university is one such step in this direction. Search engine Google’s, this initiative is being seen by many as building up the ‘relationship for life’. If one twists this fact, one would come to the conclusion ‘relationship for slave’. Well, is it - a relationship for life or a relationship for slave?
So far, Trinity College Dublin, Lakehead University, Arizona State University and the Linköpings University have already joined or in the process of joining the new services. This names Trinity College Dublin, Arizona State University and the Linköpings University have, one could say – outsourced their e-mail services.
All these universities of the United States, a few in Europe and in the African countries like Rwanda and Kenya have opted for the Google’s web based application. In addition to it, Google, the world's leading Internet search engine, is going to digitize a collection of more than 800,000 books and manuscripts housed at the University of Mysore (Mysore University).
Well, how do you feel when someone trespasses your privacy and keeps a constant watch on you? Making it worse if it keeps a constant watch over the whole population. Definitely you would not like and could possibly fight tooth and nail to protect yourself from the unwarranted intrusion.
Here comes in the picture Google- the masiah of the internet. Is it masiah or a crooked detective who catches you to make his both ends meet? According to the Rights group Privacy International: the search giant Google is "hostile" to privacy how they handle personal data.
The Rights group Privacy International further adds that the Google was leading a "race to the bottom" among net firms like Yahoo and AOL, which had policies that did little to substantially protect users.
While a number of other Internet companies have troubling policies, none comes as close to Google to "achieving status as an endemic threat to privacy,".
In recent times, it has become a matter of serious discussion about who holds the right to possess maximum volume of people’s profile – the government agencies or the Google?
So I'm more concerned, privacywise, about Google and what it intends to do with all that search data it's accumulating. Not to mention the data flowing through its E-mail, data storage, and app services.
