Google has introduced Google Code Project Hosting… their open source project hosting offering that competes with SourceForge.
Google… Google… they know our searching patterns and web content (Google search), our email (Gmail) and IM (Google Talk) conversations, our blogs preferences (Google Reader) and calendar events (Google Calendar), the groups we publish or follow (Google Groups), and our personal information (Google AdSense and AdWords), the information we care about (Google Personalized page), and our buying habits (Google Store).
And now our code too? Wait a minute — that's crossing the line! :-)
On a serious note… all this information centralized within their premises, easily accessible for profiling – I'm not concerned about the good guys, but what could happen if the bad guys, or even the government, gets access to it without permission. Think about it. It is hard not to be paranoid.
