Google was at it again!
Google released a new product — its Chrome browser — and claimed rights to everything you could read or type into or submit through it.
This means… Owning your Tweets. Your blog posts. Your emails.
Crazy, huh?
Then Google caught its gaffe, and rescinded that part of the license.
Oddly, Google did this last year with its Google Docs.
The initial agreement claimed rights over “any Content which you submit, post or display on or through” the browser.

I can’t help but notice that Google’s splash page has a Trade Mark symbol, meaning that they’re watching their intellectual property very closely. But yours? It’s their’s until they think better of it. Or receive copious complaints.
