This is a great thing. But, if the public can use it, don't you think that the public should be able to control it in a way? If this gets used widely in apps, Google *will* have the power to make a site disappear.

Totally lame. If Eric Sergey Larry weren't sitting in Gates' lap with his dick up their you know whos this wouldn't be necessary.And it's not about what dumb computers are "out there" - it's about what dumb computers are "right here". As on your own f**king desktop. As in M$ WINDOZE.So get a grip.

if you're accidentally logged in to google, they're already capturing most people's search history on their servers without most people knowing they are or ever deleting it. now by using this people will be sending the address of every site they visit directly to google for 'malware' and 'phishing' checking against a blacklist.i don't know about most of you, but i'll be sticking with good ol' common sense, rather than pass all of my internet traffic to a 3rd party.one thing's for sure though, between google and choicepoint, those companies know most everyone better than they do.
