They don't go far enough, but still they seem to be doing more than the other engines. The thing with Google is they also have more access to our information than the other engines, which is why I think everyone looks at them. I can understand why Google would be frustrated with the report, but pointing the finger at others probably isn't the best way to respond.

I think that most people, however, are pretty comfortable giving Google at least some of their information in exchange for the benefits/goods/services they get in return. Or, you could look at it this way: the more they tighten their grip, the more <strike>star systems</strike> control will slip through their fingers. I could certainly see them running some of their apps into the ground--about as likely as I see there eventually being some other competitor. No one dominates the market forever. This Internet thing is just a passing fad ;) . Yes.

I think I've given up hope that some competitor will rise up and provide me with alternatives, I'm now hoping for government regulation or something... btw I'm not holding my breath. Maybe I'll just start practicing my "Resistance is Futile" line ;) Unfortunately it’s becoming harder and harder not to give Google at least some of your information.

We also use Google Analytics 'round here and Andy and I both GMail. We've chosen to give Google that information. In fact, FeedBurner's opt out period to give your information to Google ends on Thursday.

It seems to me that Google's response has (and granted I'm paraphrasing) "Everyone else is just as bad" or "There's no way we're the WORST".
