I think no matter what you do, Google's reach is so pervasive that they know which websites you visit and the webpages you look at... and that happens very quickly, and more deeply than you thought possible.

Last week I did a Google search on my first and last name. Obviously the results of that search are available to everyone who knows my name, and it's a free search. Family, friends, work associates, everyone can see the results...

It showed every city I've lived in for the last 30+ years, as well as the names of family members, my ex-wife, my current girlfriend, and a girlfriend from two years ago (even though I never lived with that girlfriend; and it also showed that she had been raped by a previous boyfriend, even though by law that information was sealed by the court). It even showed the headline I used on my online dating profile, when I met my current girlfriend!

I know all of that information was gained by Google's extensive reach on the internet. Combined with zabasearch and court records, people can find out almost everything about us for free -- and for a small fee, they can find out much more.

It's too late to re-boot. What Steve and James said...
