Its kinda creepy what google can really do considering they have vast majority of your email transactions and blah!!. For starters they have suggested my followers and people whom I follow in their new age product - Buzz. That to me is just the tip of an iceberg.
Consider just a few things like purchase confirmations, air ticket itineraries, and google alerts that one may never bother to delete (google generously has provided 1GB of space). If based on a simple frequency count, they can come up with boat load of profiles, imagine what they can draw based on the other stuff they have about all of us, and who knows they must already be approached by marketing geniuses to tap on to each profiles datanome (analogy from genome). Mapping a person's datanome to draw the behavioral traits and what if analysis could be really interesting. Did someone say SciFi exists only in movies!, and that we are miles away from being ruled by machines! thing again.
