Google Dashboard - More Questions than Answers

The new Google Dashboard seems to be one of those new 'transparency' functionalities that raises more concerning questions than provides helpful solutions to our real privacy concerns. I checked it out and it was pretty useless, and PC World agrees. What we really want is a simple privacy setting - public and private radio checkboxes. Visible versus invisible. Transparent versus hidden. I almost think Facebook gets it more than Google when it comes to public versus private information, though both companies should be watched more closely.

Google's blogpost was weird and insincere.

Thanks PC World for the good article.
