Google Dashboard?
Ah, so google came out with yet another feature. Some time ago, I talked about the Google Social Search that was in its developmental stage. Well, Google just came out with its new Google Privacy Dashboard. It’s another step for Google to become more transparent and less, mischievous. Read about their Google Privacy effort, it looks like they’re really trying.
The Dashboard, supposedly, contains all the information that google has stored about you, including Google:
- blogger information
- contacts
- friend connect
- gmail
- IGoogle
- Reader
- Talk
- Voice
- Analytics
- Adsense
- Docs
- Calender
- your general Account info
Google Dashboard
And loads of other information. This is what my GMAIL statistics looked like (click to full view):
GMAIL
As you can see, it lists how many emails you received, how many in trash, how many you’ve sent, pretty standard info. It also allows you to jump into the Gmail settings on the right. For those of you that use Google Voice. You’ll get similar statistics:
Google Voice
If you’ve ever used your Google account to connect or access other websites, the permissions are also saved:
Google Account
Some of the feature don’t yet work for me, but that maybe because it has only just now launched. The Google Blog entry will explain the features in-depth.
Here’s the video explaining Google Dashboard:
If you have a google account, a youtube account, or a blogger account. Check out the dashboard and see what Google has to say about you.
