Credibility is a powerful tool for any company. Now Google Inc. is being criticized for being “evil” because they are crossing the line of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. I don’t think so. I sincerely hope Google’s integrity is reflected in their philosophy for the well-being of many users.
What I have noticed is that Google managers are trying to improve their service by creating the robots.txt file, which is one of the many Google mechanisms to allow operators of a web site to request that part or their entire site not be included in search engine results. I think this is a good way to solve any dispute about copyright. To satisfy the users’ needs we do not need more lawsuits but good agreements among educational institutions, government and big companies like Google to provide a better access to a good and accurate information to make easy our researches.
What really concerns me is that Google keeps some of our personal information obtained from our e-mails. I disagree with this policy because I think we as users should be able to manage our own and personal information. If we decide to delete our e-mail, it should be deleted with our personal information too. I hope it changes.
Far beyond any Google critic, we should recognize that Google makes our lives easier. Since it provides us of the best research engines, fast Gmails, Google News, Google Images, and many other good services, now we are able to success in an organized World Wide Web.
