Why should you use Private search engines instead of Google?
Might we all be feeding right into the hands of "BIG BROTHER"? I'm growing more dubious about Google and other public search engines everyday. I've been hearing a lot of things about their privacy policies that arouse concern. The links below are but two examples of many I've been reading and hearing about recently.

I recently watched an interview on TV suggesting that people who use the Internet start using private search engines that don't store or track any of your personal information, habits, buying trends, etc. The link below expands on that.

I don't want to copy and paste anything written by others so I'm only providing links but I do recommend you take a few moments to peruse them. Call me paranoid but I've just been reading to many posts and articles recently about copyright infringements and other online Internet threats that can haunt folks who use that big I in the sky.
I'm well aware that blogging platforms like AR, Trulia, Zillow and myriad other open forums depend on their SEO and website presence through that sacred and coveted "Google Juice". Our positioning and ranking on searches depends on it. But where could this all end up?
Your thoughts, opinions and insights are appreciated
