Google Takeout - A Quick Way To Take Your Data With You

Google has just launched "Takeout." No this is not a fast food division but a fast data application. This new feature allows you to download everything that you have uploaded and inputted into Google applications. With Google Takeout you can download your contacts, Picasa photos, and your profile information all with a few clicks of a button.

This is a great new feature. It should hopefully help Google's new social network to gain the trust of it's users. It would allow them to download all of their personal information and then be able to close their account. This is a large benefit in comparison to Facebook. As we all know Facebook puts on an attitude that once you upload personal information and documents to Facebook server's; it's theirs and you are never getting it back. With Google Takeout you have the assurance that you can access all of the information you have shared and remove your Google identity from the Internet.

Free Computer Parts!
