The kind of all-encompassing service that Google offers worries me on a lot of levels; although I find it interesting how many of the commenters leapt to Google's defence, citing how poor Facebook's reputation WRT privacy is. I suspect that most of them use FB; and sinister though they may or may not be, I find it hard to take complaints about it seriously, given that so many folk willingly upload their entire lives onto it. What do you expect them to do with all that info?
