Business Perspective Harin Patel

Googles New Privacy Policy is very exciting for some people, yet very dissapointing for others. People that like to look up information about others and find out certain things might have alot of fun with this new privacy policy. Others like me who do not like to be known on the internet or have our personal information available to others to obtain, are disappointed at this policy that Google is bringing upon its users. A major advantage is to Business companies and other Jobs that are trying to learn more about possible employees. Google's New privacy policy will make it as easy as a click of a mouse button to learn everything about possible employees that a company wants to hire. Business' have been using Facebook to find out information about people for a very long time. Google is making everything readily available for the world to access. Even though this is helping major corporations in their hiring process, it is putting many others in risk of online fraud. If people have their personal information available on the internet, there are many people that can use this information in the wrong way and misuse this to commit fraud or identity theft. Google might think they are doing a very liberal move, but I feel that many people care more about their personal information to be secure rather then available for others too see. People trust sites like Google and many others that offer a password, and assure us that our information is secure with the password we protect it by. If google is telling us that even if we provide a password, they will still have our information available to others, then loyal users like I and many others will have to boycott Google's Services. " Though Google has cast the changes as a benefit to users, saying they will enjoy a "beautifully simple" experience, the ability to piece together more information about users’ activities online will ultimately prove a boon to Google as it challenges other web companies, such as Facebook, in a war over advertising dollars and users’ time."

Ultimatley, I think that Google is trying to compete with Facebook, and other social networking sites to obtain a bigger User Pool, and create its own social networking. Google said that from what your emails say to what youtube video s you watch, they will creat a profile for you where it will say who you are according to the things you access using google's service. In a business perspective, Google might think that they are creating a simplker and better experiance for others, but in reality, its just one more thing that i have to worry about.
