Currently (12:20 AM EST) my google account (<a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/accounts/</a>) has the link to Dashboard (<a href="https://www.google.com/dashboard" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/dashboard</a>), but the resulting page is a 404.

Is there any other online service which tries to tell as much as they can about you like this? I think it is good work. However, there is lots of information missing. But they do acknowledge this. Check out the "Is this everything" link at the bottom of the page.<p>"In a nutshell? Not yet."<p>They also say,<p><pre><code> There are other kinds of data that Google records when you use its services, but which are not associated with your Google Account. To protect your privacy, that data is intentionally kept separate from your Google Account and thus is not visible on this page. Here are a few examples: Server logs Cookies Interest-based advertising </code></pre> No information about what is coming next, but I think that this is better than any other online service (that I know of). I am sure they could do better, but I think this is showing they are working on it.<p>I don't use Gmail, Calendar (much) and a host of other services which they offer, as I think they have more than enough information about me already.

'It's a long answer to the question: "What does Google know about me?"'<p>Short Answer: Probably too much.

I used to check some of this information on "Account Settings" but this is much more complete.

Isn't that what iGoogle is for? Google is starting to confuse me.

Dashboard isn't a great name for this, but it's probably better than "Google 0wnz0r j00r s0ul", which is what I'd have called it.<p>On a more serious note, this doesn't take into account the shedloads of information stored <i>within</i> a Google account, or accessible with that account information in other sites. Be wary of complacency - oh, that's all Google have stored with this account? - as previous HN threads have made me realise, Google pretty much <i>does</i> control my soul at this point. Organise the world's information? One person-bit at a time.
