Whitepages Search

I had another one of those "aren't web searches amazing" moments today. In the process of trying to find the phone number of a school, I eventually gave up on www.whitepages.com.au and used the browser search bar. An appropriate link came up straight away. The web search picked my mispelling, which was why the white pages search was failing. Just amazing. I'm using Firefox 1.0 in combo with the A9 search toolbar. Very nice combination but I'm still not that comfortable with a company knowing all the pages I go to. Will see how I go over the coming months. There was an opinion I read/listened to (can't remember where) that the next generation won't be nearly as cagey about personal information being available to organizations. My gut feel is that this is true... until some organizations step over the line and people get "burnt" in some way. Once trust is lost, it takes long time to gain it back.
