Today, Google announced on their Official Blog that they have redesigned their privacy policies for their services (numbering well over 70), and are looking to unify the bulk of them under one privacy policy. It's actually great news. Under the newly announced policy, Google services can share information gathered about you with other Google services.

The policy is generally innocent, but there's a specific paragraph that could be used for good, or not so good purposes:

"Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you're signed in, we may combine information you've provided from one service with information from other services. In short, we'll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience."

YouTube remains the world's number one video-themed web site and today the site's owner Google announced some new statistics that are sure to blow some people's minds. On the official YouTube blog site, the company revealed that the site is generating a massive four billion video views per day. Google says that number is up 25 percent from just eight months ago.

Ever since Google launched its Google+ social networking service, the company has not allowed people to sign up using names that were not their real names. However, Google has now realized there are a lot of people out there who are mostly known by their nicknames and other names that were not given to them at birth.

In a post on his Google+ page, team member Bradley Horowitz announced that starting later this week, " ... we’ll be adding support for alternate names – be they nicknames, maiden names, or names in another script – alongside your common name. This name will show up on your Google+ profile and in the hovercards which appear over your name."
