When will Google start issuing its own social security numbers?

It seems like more and more of this blog is being dedicated to Google coverage, but the technology giant seems to always be in the news. A recent article in the Onion covered Google's increasing omnipresence with this video



Google Opt Out Feature Lets Users Protect Privacy By Moving To Remote Village


Though the source is The Onion, and it is an obvious exaggeration, the message is staggeringly true. A recent Google search of myself brought both my Facebook page and Twitter account within the first 20 results. (The coveted I'm Feeling Lucky result went to an embezzler from Connecticut).

This video highlights the availability of information online. Google's eventual goal is to harmonize the world's information and communication, of course all of it going through Google's servers and supporting the best advertising model in the world.

The question then becomes, do you want to be on the cutting edge? Or stuck in luddite-ville?
