Just put some of my pictures on my Flickr map. Geo location feels a sensitive type of information: while I don't have problem posting pictures of friends and their house, positioning them precisely on a map is an entirely different story.

Where is the map with the pictures of my friends anyway? Wasn't flickr supposed to be social? ;-)

Scoble lists a few reasons why bloggers have double standards when it comes to Google vs. Microsoft.

They are all good points but I think that the main reason Google is drawing so much attention from anybody is not for gMail, gCalendar, gOffice or gSpot, it's for its currently less visible service: search.

I have subscribed to Google personalized search just to keep track of my google usage on all my browsers on all my computers. On average I visit google 40 times a day, but it can get up to 50 or 60. To find friends, to check spelling, to find a way of saying something, even just to think. Like it or not Google search has become part of the infrastructure, I probably couldn't use the web without Google search.
