Tech news blog - Your Web history, courtesy of Google | CNET News.com: "Google's announced acquisition of DoubleClick has raised considerable concern among privacy advocates, who argue that combining the search engine giant with a major online advertising firm puts too much information in the hands of one company.

The launch of Google's new Web History product should send those fears into overdrive.

The new service allows you to search and view your entire online life, including what pages they visited online and when. Google will also analyze your online travels, revealing which sites you visit most frequently and what your top searches are.

The data is available only to when you log on with your Google account and password, and Google does have a feature that lets you remove items, or turn off the service. And the tool itself can be extremely useful, both to users and to developers. But many bloggers looked askance at a tool that lays right out in the open the fact that Google knows just about everything you see and everything you do online."
