    WASHINGTON POST: "Google announced Tuesday that it will integrate users’ information across Gmail, YouTube, search and 57 other Google services. Google privacy director Alma Whitten, who explained the changes in a company blog post released in the afternoon, said the company will “treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience.'"

    Not a fan of this.

    I don’t really understand how this is a big deal.

    It’s just irritating to me. Not on an ideals level, but just having to centralize everything on the internet. I like logging out of stuff. I use a few different e-mail addresses among my various internet accounts. Keeping things separate is my personal preference.

    Remember how Adama was all adamant to Gaeta about not centralizing the fleet’s computers at the beginning of the diaspora? If they did, once one system got infiltrated or screwed up, all the others would be goners as well. I’ve always had that attitude when it comes to my online presence. Don’t set things up like dominos. I’d rather give things my individual attention. That’s just me!
