I agree with you as usual and applaud your approach to this increasingly sensitive issue. In a perfect world a person's search tool would know them rather intimately and would have "safeguards" built in that would never ever reveal anything about the user. I expect this is digitally possible and potentially of supreme value both in terms of PR and intrinsically. What if a search engine, well even something beyond a search engine, could be a confidant if you will. ;)? Of course the people and the business behind this entity would have ultimate control, but the inherent integrity of such a business along with the innovation would (I expect) be of a value that exceeded all competitors. Of course I know this is where you are headed, but proving it will take time. On Web 2.0 it may be enough to "say it" to begin with but knowing the value and methods of everyone at Hakia I am sure you will discover a meticulous method for demonstrating trustworthiness in short order. Assurances and the lack of a need for what Google has taken advantage of will go a long way to being demonstrative in this regard. I hope I can think of some "key" elements that might anchor such "assurances." BTW answer my email LOL My Warm Regards Always, Phil Butler Hi Melek!
