stalkerish..

This is stalking to the extreme !
Earlier, they wanted to know what everyone is searching for - now they wanna know the locations(lat/long coordinates).

Man, this is compromise of privacy - big time :) Ppl give up privacy for services they receive - not knowing what price they might pay for it later.
The recent one in stack is Google's Dodgeball

Is this Google's answer to 2 challenges:
1. orkut not being as popular/usable as facebook.
2. need to locate folks and provide advertisement possibilities to local businesses.

well, letsee wait-n-watch what happens !

landed here after searching for 'CMU+MISM+blogspot' on google. Nice to find someone who is blogging his/her MISM experiences, invaluable to someone like me who has an admit .

google is a great company - a puny mortal like me can't comment much about it. it would be unwise and immature.


I gained a lot of knowledge about them during my prep for their interview last night !
