Google also keeps track of every search you do.  

These companies appear to be making huge and detailed databases of as much
personal information as possible about everyone.  The apparent purpose it to
target advertising more accurately.  I wonder what else the information will
ultimately be used for.

It may be that the paranoids got it wrong.  It's not the CIA or FBI we ought
to worry most about.  

I expect when the public becomes more informed about this the inflated real
estate prices will not be the only bubble that pops.
