google dashboard
Dashboard service that Google launched, designed to show the search giant knows about the user's online activities. This service provides an overview of the data associated Google account specified. Members are to view and control data, which is in the range of search engine queries and emails sent through Gmail to view the video on YouTube, and more besides.
Google Dashboard - which is designed to address privacy concerns over the search engine giant's propensity to catalogue data - is accessed by logging into a Google account. Surfers get a list of the number of items held on particular services (Calenders, Blogger, Shopper, Chat, Gmail etc. etc.) linking to the data repositories of these services for more detailed information. Although the Dashboard service goes some way towards answering the question of what Google knows about our lives online, it doesn't really provide many clues about how Google uses this information.
However, Google takes a lot of Dashboard potentially sensitive data, another good reason that it is difficult to use for the user to (strong) passwords, Gmail or other Google accounts to find out.
