How To GTD With Google

How To GTD With Google: "Is there a limit to the information Google can collect?

So far, Google has offered a platform for some of the best and most useful tools online, giving you everything from calendars and email accounts to news portals and document processors. There’s only one dilemma.

In order to take advantage of those Google apps and services, you need to surrender a lot of information. You more than likely give Google your email address, your Google ID, and your Contacts list readily.

Even if you don’t give your own information out, Google can collect data on the fly thorugh click tracking, log files, JavaScripts and Web Beacons. These build up a microscopic lens through which Google can monitor you, and it’s this risk that most users are willing to take.

Let’s not forget that there are a number of third party tools that are easily integrated with those data-collecting Google apps. And those tools are used to conveniently GTD with Google on a daily basis. But are they worth it?

Today, we take a look at Google’s privacy risks and the type of user data major Google apps and services collect. And after learning what Google knows about you, if you’re still a Google fan, we also provide you with a few of the best tools to help you GTD with Google."
