Google have been under lot of criticism for storing all the user’s data and utilizing them to show you what you want. This had always made Google look like a Big Brother. This also had led people to think that Google is manipulating users. But Google has taken a step to debunk these allegation and bring to you Google Dash Board. Now you can see what Google is seeing about you. Though many are feeling uncomfortable with this idea, I think its a very good way to optimize your user experience with Google.

In an effort to provide you with greater transparency and control over their own data, we’ve built the Google Dashboard. Designed to be simple and useful, the Dashboard summarizes data for each product that you use (when signed in to your account) and provides you direct links to control your personal settings. Today, the Dashboard covers more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Orkut, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many more. The scale and level of detail of the Dashboard is unprecedented, and we’re delighted to be the first Internet company to offer this — and we hope it will become the standard. Watch this quick video to learn more and then try it out for yourself at www.google.com/dashboard.
