Google Tracking Software
I was reading this and began to wonder have we gone to far with technology.It can be a good thing but in the wrong hands anything could happen.I think this software could be great for parents and spouses I guess but what if a stalker or pedifile got a hold of this in regards to your or child's phone?
here is the story in case you haven't heard.

Re: Google Tracking Software
Not sure if it's good or not. As OP says: what happens if it ends up in the hands of a pedofile and such? But on the other hand maybe with the latest technological threats it could be a good thing? Today is an even scarier time for us and our children. Dr. Phil had a show on last week, Pursuing the Predator: Internet Investigations, i.e., MySpace, Facebook, etc. The show also featured a new monitoring device RADAR, MyMobilWatchdog, what it does to help parents to protect their children from cell phone text messages. You can read about it more by clicking on the link below. Here is a sobering statistic taken from the website: "According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited children, roughly 28 to 30 million kids are using the Internet today. One in seven of those kids will be sexually solicited online," he says.

Re: Google Tracking Software
I vote "I don't care" even though it isn't an option, lol. You have to physically sign up for it. It isn't something that you are just automatically a part of. So I don't really care based on that fact. I wouldn't personally sign up for it though. I see no point in it.
