Google today launched a new service for Google account holders called Google Dashboard. Google Dashboard is a all-in-one dashboard that offers a decent view of a user’s usage of Google services. The dashboard basically lists specific information about data that each Google service has stored for that Google account. This ranges from information about received and send emails in Gmail over the photos, albums and profile at Google Picasa to subscription information in Google Reader and the latest web searches in Google Search.
A lot of information are displayed in Google Dashboard many with links to the services to look and manage the information. It is likely that a lot of Google users will be surprised at the wealth of information that are displayed in Google Dashboard.
Probably even more useful than the display of the data are links to various privacy policies and options to clear or manage the data that gets stored in the accounts. It is for example possible to use a link to remove items or clear the web history, manage privacy settings in Orkut or Google Reader, manage Gmail https settings or manage Blogger blogs.
In an effort to provide you with greater transparency and control over their own data, we’ve built the Google Dashboard. Designed to be simple and useful, the Dashboard summarizes data for each product that you use (when signed in to your account) and provides you direct links to control your personal settings. Today, the Dashboard covers more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Orkut, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many more. The scale and level of detail of the Dashboard is unprecedented, and we’re delighted to be the first Internet company to offer this — and we hope it will become the standard.

Google Dashboard is definitely an interesting concept to manage many privacy related tasks from one central interface. Users who want to try it out to see the data that is stored in their Google account can visit the Google Dashboard website directly. (via official Google Blog and Connected Internet.

The fact that Google is collecting personal information behind the guise of “service” I believe it’s the first step to an international database designed for two purposes: 1) marketing and, 2) spying on it’s unsuspecting users.
