I’ve been thinking for awhile now that Google, with its master lens and all, should consider opening a service to its users to empower their empire with an opt-in data mining feature.

While I’m sure they’re harvesting invaluable data at near God-like levels already (even if their privacy agreement states otherwise), I think such an action should be taken public and allow we, as the users, to experiment alongside them in the process.

To back this opinion up, I’ve just contacted them via their feedback form with this message:

“I’ve often wondered how much/if any of the data being passed through one’s Google accounts is actually mined for your own analytical use elsewhere.

If this really, truely isn’t being done now, I would like to suggest that you create an opt-in option for users who would be willing to experiment with such a thing.

I think it could be a tremendously beneficial service to both parties, though how the user would be compensated would need hammering out, as would a very strict privacy agreement, as this would put every miniscule detail of the users life under the Google lens.

Anyway, if this ever comes up for review and you want to start drafting volunteers, let me know.

Thanks for your cont’d efforts to master the universe. ;)”

-should be interesting to see what, if any, response I receive.
