I am the last person in the world to find this website? You type a search query in the "looks like a Google search box" and it spits out a link to itself, typing the same question into Google, served with a side of 'tude. Perfect for those hoary FAQs that keep popping up (as long as you're not worried about showing that you're a bit of a wanker yourself...)
Quoted: For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than Google it for themselves.

Quoted: The problem at the time was that there was no Google-wide social graph. There was no sharing model or friend groups. There was no working activity stream back-end. There were not even URLs for people. All this had to be built, and parts of the whole (such as Google Profiles and Latitude) were shipped incrementally along the way. The archstone that brings everything together is Buzz in Gmail.

I got into (an interesting) discussion of a proposal to store encrypted data only on the server with no private server key - and how secure that may be.
(Roy, this reminds me of your project last year - I'm sure you've thought about all these same issues).
