I know that Google has become buddies with the open source community. They (at least the claim to) keep your privacy in high priority, etc.

However, I am also a Google shareholder. I know that the company's profit margin is growing at an exponential rate. I remember once upon a time when companies like Amazon, Yahoo!, and even Microsoft were so trusted by the community.

I am not comparing Google to these companies, I believe that they are truly different, however, this data stays with them, and not with us. We do not have the legal council to defend ourselves should Google ever decide to do something more sinister with the data that they have collected.

I would much rather trust in ourselves (as long as Dinah remains open source) to perform this kind of analysis.

Of course... we still have that issue with a lack of programmers. I would go for "B" before "A" though. If there was a system such as analytics that we could download and implement ourselves, that would be a different story.

Respectfully,
