Profiling, Data-Mining, Database Building... the favorite pasttime of the commercial and scientific-minded New World Order... Ahhh, better to "govern" you with...
When they are ready to let everyone know that's what they've been doing all along, I'm sure they will come up with a very "good" and "necessary" reason... "We need to know everything about you so we can bring you your exact gene-specific vaccine... and for a slight increase in your taxes, we'll have it delivered to your door... You never will have to leave your home... Aren't we vondervuuuul?"
I wrote the below "mini report" on 3/28/09:
...a few weeks ago, just so happens I flipped by PBS one day and there was Charlie Rose interviewing Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/07/eric-schmidt-tells-charlie-rose-google-is-unlikely-to-buy-twitter-and-wants-to-turn-phones-into-tvs/ (btw, CEO Schmidt is not the same as the Google FOUNDER, more on him further below).
Charlie basically flat out asked Schmidt, ARE YOU SPYING ON OUR EMAILS? LOL. (Charlie said Obama had a Gmail account, lol). Of course Schmidt replied, NO, That's Against Our Policy, besides the Fact It's Illegal. (pffff! Yeah, sure. NOTHING is "illegal" since the Patriot Acts I & II).
Per Schmidt, Google started out as a bunch of engineer/tech guys who wrote a web-search-program for the purpose of selling it to all the big-time web people out there. But nobody would buy it from them. So that's when Google switched and decided to put their program out there on the web themselves, dadummm, and Google search was born.
From there they began adding all the advertising, so Schmidt says they are now more "advertising agents" than anything.
But that doesn't mean they aren't still "data mining" every little thing about all of us, but Oh Well, I give up, whatcha gonna do?
Re: Google as SPY, here's some scoop about them I ran across a few weeks ago while reading about various email options:
GOOGLE FOUNDER, Sergy Brin's main interest in college/Stanford was DATA MINING:

CIA and Google Team Up Again For More Spying Search engine company has long been in bed with intelligence network
Monday, March 31, 2008
Google is supplying the software, hardware and tech support to US intelligence agencies who are in the process of creating a vast closed source database for global spy networks to share information.

I was thinking about using some freebie Yahoo mail, too, but another person wrote at the above link:
They already have spy trojans. They are Windows Vista, AOL, AIM, IE, Itunes, Flickr, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo, Symantec Anti-virus, and so on. Nearly all of this applications store massive amounts of personal dataand can be accessed by any Corporate Authority and not just in China either.
And about a week ago I read this in a thread at Ron Paul Forums...
The Internet is a weaponthat they designed in the 1950's, employing over 40 years of simulations and testing before they deployed the weapon on the public. To think that it is a tool for the public is a dangerous illusion.

Still loving the internet! ;-)
Here's the pertinent portion of the Charlie Rose interview w/Google CEO Eric Schmidt re: Gmail, as I mentioned above:

Charlie Rose: So Gmail. Suppose I use Gmail. You guys can see all of any Gmail.
Eric Schmidt: But we don’t by practice.
Charlie Rose: Well, yeah, but you know what the argument is about that?
Eric Schmidt: We have rules, Charlie.
Charlie Rose: Suppose you didn’t like me.
Eric Schmidt: Even if we don’t like you, we won’t violate our rules.
Charlie Rose: Yeah? So what? So you’re saying — [laughter] You’re saying trust us? Trust us?
Eric Schmidt: Yes.
Charlie Rose: That’s it? We’re not going to sneak a look?
Eric Schmidt: We do not sneak a look.
Charlie Rose: So when Barack Obama was running for President, and had a Gmail account, I don’t know whether he did or not, nobody was saying –
Eric Schmidt: To your knowledge no one did it, and if they had, they would have been fired immediately. And it’s also possible that they would have been guilty of federal laws, had they broken into that account using a false password. The laws are very strict about that.
Charlie Rose: So if somebody gets into an account without using the password, they may be guilty of a crime.
Eric Schmidt: They’re likely to be guilty.
