<p>Ah, so<a title="google" href="http://www.google.com"> google</a> came out with yet another feature. Some time ago, I talked about the <a title="google social search article" href="http://www.davepcguy.com/archive/google-social-search/">Google Social Search</a> that was in its developmental stage. Well, Google just came out with its new <a title="google privacy dashboard" href="http://mashable.com/2009/11/05/google-privacy-dashboard/">Google Privacy Dashboard</a>. It&#8217;s another step for Google to become more transparent and less, mischievous. Read about their <a title="privacy center" href="http://www.google.com/privacy.html">Google Privacy </a>effort, it looks like they&#8217;re really trying.<span id="more-838"></span><br />
<br />
The Dashboard, supposedly, contains all the information that google has stored about you, including Google:</p>
<ul>
<li>blogger information</li>
<li>contacts</li>
<li>friend connect</li>
<li>gmail</li>
<li>IGoogle</li>
<li>Reader</li>
<li>Talk</li>
<li>Voice</li>
<li>Analytics</li>
<li>Adsense</li>
<li>Docs</li>
<li>Calender</li>
<li>your general Account info</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_842" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash4.PNG"><img class="size-full wp-image-842 " title="Google Dashboard" src="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash4.PNG" alt="Google Dashboard" width="500" height="364" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Dashboard</p></div>
<p>And loads of other information. This is what my GMAIL statistics looked like (click to full view):</p>
<div id="attachment_839" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash1.PNG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-839" title="GMAIL" src="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash1-300x77.PNG" alt="GMAIL" width="300" height="77" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">GMAIL</p></div>
<p>As you can see, it lists how many emails you received, how many in trash, how many you&#8217;ve sent, pretty standard info. It also allows you to jump into the Gmail settings on the right. For those of you that use <a title="google voice" href="https://www.google.com/voice">Google Voice</a>. You&#8217;ll get similar statistics:</p>
<div id="attachment_840" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash2.PNG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-840" title="Google Voice" src="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash2-300x61.PNG" alt="Google Voice" width="300" height="61" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Voice</p></div>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever used your Google account to connect or access other websites, the permissions are also saved:</p>
<div id="attachment_841" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash3.PNG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-841" title="Google Account" src="http://www.davepcguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/googledash3-300x90.PNG" alt="Google Account" width="300" height="90" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Account</p></div>
<p>Some of the feature don&#8217;t yet work for me, but that maybe because it has only just now launched. The <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/transparency-choice-and-control-now.html">Google Blog</a> entry will explain the features in-depth.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video explaining Google Dashboard:<br />

<p>If you have a google account, a youtube account, or a blogger account. Check out the <a title="Google Dashboard" href="http://www.google.com/dashboard">dashboard</a> and see what Google has to say about you.<br />
