Google: AOL snafu 'terrible thing,' share 'your music listening history with Google'

Last.fm: Huh? Google Music Trends is just like a www.last.fm service. How could collecting users listening data, on an opt in basis, be an invasion of privacy? Oh no, someone can find out what music I'm listening too... and... do... what with it? mock me? It's purely voluntary, and this is trivial data. Especially on it's own. The only power in collecting this data is in the TRENDS.

I don't understand how this would compromise personal privacy at all.; Posted by: balleyne Posted on: 08/16/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
