These posters are by Stéphane Massa-Bidal slyly explaining Google’s services.

I’ve extolled Google’s existence in our daily lives in the past. These posters, on the other hand, paint a different picture. I don’t know why we don’t think twice about it, but for one company to have access to 99% of our information is frightening. Imagine having a girlfriend who reads all of your e-mails, knows exactly what porn sites you visit, and then plants a homing device on you. Except your girlfriend is really awesome because she doesn’t ask if you she looks fat as a trick question and you don’t have to read her mind, but she can read yours and does everything for you. That would be Google.

Still, I suppose some people do cherish their privacy and are unsettled at the fact that Google has this much control over our lives. I would be complaining more about it if Google wasn’t so good at what they do.

Twitter, Facebook, telling everyone you meet at a bar that they can be famous by taking a picture for the blog with their fun bags out: it’s all part of the social media game, except for that last part. But as if you weren’t overwhelmed already with the ADD culture of status updates, we’re giving you another option. Google Buzz!…Yeah I wish there was more to say about it other than it’s a beefed up version of Twitter, but hey why not?

So get your clicking finger out, go to our Google Buzz page, and press the follow button. And I promise you that what you get will be ten times less disgusting than what you find on ChatRoulette.
