Ever wanted to take a step back and look at all the Google apps and data you’re hooked into? Google’s offering that top-down view with Google Dashboard, a central clearinghouse for app settings, privacy information, and use statistics.
The main value to the average user at the Dashboard, reachable at google.com/dashboard when signed into a Google account, is a peek at all the services you use, the data Google’s acquired from you, and quick links to each app’s settings. You also get direct links to your Google calendars, your most recent Gmail messages and Google Docs documents, and secondary settings, like changing your personal information in apps that use that data. Those with privacy concerns also get quick links to the policies of every app they’re using.

Google Wants To Be Worlds’ Librarian

Could Google be the final chapter for books?
Google wants to become the world’s librarian and bookseller. They have digitised more than 10 million volumes in more than 100 languages and have agreements to scan millions more. Will this help make our literary heritage more accessible or signal the end of traditional books? Will it lead to more readers? Will authors’ and publishers’ rights be disregarded for the sake of profit?
