If you use Google apps, read this
A while ago Google announced they would track and correlate all user data and activity that flows through their servers - i.e. from searches but also from gMail, gMaps, gCalendar, Youtube etc.

Now Google's CEO is advising the Obama campaign on how to shape their message effectively.

If you use gMail on your PC or smartphone, or any of the other Google apps, keep this in mind. The Obama campaign is extensively mining data about voters. The combination of Google's data mining expertise and your personal information is a powerful campaign contribution to re-electing the present POTUS.

Although it's an annoying limitation on my own smartphone use, I refuse to send my email and calendar through Google apps to my phone for this reason and I turn off GPS location tracking on the phone nearly all the time.
