»  WASHINGTON POST: "Google announced Tuesday that it will integrate users’ information across Gmail, YouTube, search and 57 other Google services. Google privacy director Alma Whitten, who explained the changes in a company blog post released in the afternoon, said the company will “treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience.'"

No opt-out.

Yay! So glad I signed up for Google+!

(No, I didn’t…. who didn’t see this coming?)

I already figured they were doing this.

Google provides free services that no one is forcing you to use, I don’t see a real moral problem with what they choose to do with the information they gather about their users.

Sure, it’s kinda icky.  So is life.
