Google: Total Information

Posted on May 22, 2007, under Security.

Google’s goal to organise your daily life

Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, said gathering more personal data was a key way for Google to expand and the company believes that is the logical extension of its stated mission to organise the world’s information.

Asked how Google might look in five years’ time, Mr Schmidt said: “We are very early in the total information we have within Google. The algorithms will get better and we will get better at personalisation.

“The goal is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’ and ‘What job shall I take?’”

Dear Google, should I switch search engines?

btw, Clusty’s results for “aeronaut” leave much to be desired but I’ll keep trying.
