I guess I'm not paranoid, because the first thing I thought of is that now they can track surfing habits, having ISP records, but I clicked to sign up right away anyhow, those betas always seem to fill up fast. :)

I think this is Google's way of saying that most of the stuff on the Internet is crap anyway, so just put it where it belongs. :)
