I was reading Matt Cutts Blog about the Google Searchology Conference. Matt is a spokesman for Google to the SEO world. He blogs and does a lot of Google info videos. Looking through the presentation I came across a couple of slides that both amazed me and gave me a bit of concern.

If they aren’t doing it already, Google intends to know where you and your mobile phone are at any given point in time. They do this now with your IP address but a search engine company being able to locate you without the hassle of court orders like the Government would have to have is amazing. The technology they are working on is facinating. The potential for invasion of privacy is for smart people other than me to decide.

The slides where posted by a brilliant young student named Yvo Schaap from the Netherlands.
