Google History

October 3, 2007

Sometimes I will search for something on the internet, but then forget just how I got to it a few days later - which can often be disappointing. This is especially frustrating if you find something and don’t take much notice, say a nice image, and then a few days later realise you really did want that image to use for something.

The browser history only does so much, and I never bother bookmarking things that appear so trivial, so in one hand Google History is possibly quite helpful.

It could also be quite scary to some that you have the ability to view your own searches.

I’m hoping it’ll just be helpful, and will over time allow me to finder things that I want a little bit faster.

If you are paranoid though, just remember that there has been the ability to log your search history for a while - only now you can see for yourself what you search for, whereas before it was only the people who had access to the logs.
