Not sure that Google will actually bother to read all the comments people make in there Notes app, but I think they do look at the links people are making, and use that some how. I can’t recall any instances when people have been upset by anything Google have done though. Interesting point Mike.

It looks great. I just dont know how much to trust Google with my thoughts and ideas. You know? I mean, you come up with a great idea and you bookmark it and comment on it and so forth and where is that data being stored? On Google's machines. A year later you see your idea out there generating income for someone else and wonder how they knew..... I like to keep things to myself. I have had too many not-so-good experiences with storing stuff online. Even in my "own" hosting environment. My grandmother once told me, "if you dont want anyone to know then dont write it down or tell anyone - just keep it to yourself". Google Notes are great but.......... there are a whole lot of unknowns who will see what you wrote down about ........ Just my thoughts.. I dont know. It looks great.
