We all have thought, hear or read at length the possible idea that the government or some hidden company would eventually be overlooking everything we do and know more about us than what we would like them to. The protection of law is the illustration that we do not want this to happen and have a firm opinion on what the establishment (private or public) should and shouldn’t know about us. However I have recently discovered that it is very difficult to judge what is and isn’t already publicly available with or without our consent.

I am of course referring to the biggest information network that has, in the recent years, been gathering data in the form of blogs, social networks, messaging systems that have been slowly introduced into our daily life. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for the improvements of communication flow, even if it is not always for the best. But there are some hidden aspects of this electronic distribution that I would like to share with you. I will try to split them is sections that I thought were appropriate.

An opportunity to make money is not something that you want to watch pass by even if you know that there is a very slight chance that it will fall on your lap. The best way is to be able to gain some by doing a as less as possible. Some manage by investing on financial market but under the current circumstances I have to say that it is not exactly the most attractive one. So even if I am not going to give up on that one, I also looked at other options.

On one hand I always thought that adverts on web site were taking away from the sleek design that the web designer was trying to achieve. But on the other, a few bucks more in your pocket on the odd possibility that some visitors will actually visit those adverts is something that sounds appealing as well. So I looked at the possible option and looked at the least intrusive of all that’s provided by Google. I know I sound like I am a big fan of that company but they are making it so easy for us that I cannot say otherwise.

So here it is, you have now a little banner on the side with some ads that should eventually correspond to the content of the page you are looking at, well at least that’s the theory.

Google has installed and managed to make a great service available for free on the net. Google apps as they call it, is a set of the usual collection of applications that they already provided (calendar, mail, contact, docs) and adding a new one called “site” which I haven’t used yet.
