May be an idea to look at Google Dashboard to find out what google knows about you.

Strangly enough I had to use IE I couldn't get the info on Opera. ( may just be a quirk on my system I don't know)

I would imagine they know a lot about me. I've used Google's services for years, and recently got a smartphone with Google's Android operating system.

Happily Google know very little about me (which is comforting given their reputation). But then I only ever login for gmail, I never stay logged into Google for search etc

Love one of the posts in the Register's comments section:

Apparently in 2007 I created a calendar entry called "c**t" and "jkhkdgfhdkg" and claimed to be a man-whore living in France. As both were done in the early hours, I can only presume I was pished at the time
