  Er, I thought it was pretty well known that Google is an ad company. G+ = Consumer profiling Picasa = Get people sharing their photos on G+ (Now with tagging!) so that they can be profiled GMail = Consumer profiling GDrive = cannot tell since they insist on showing the pages in Japanese despite my browser telling them otherwise. But I wouldn't be surprised if they analysed your files for profiling (cannot read the japanese TOS to tell.) GMaps = Location based advertising, consumer profiling Android = Muscle in on mobile advertising and consumer profiling Almost every one of their services can be tied back to "How can we improve our profiling of consumers so that our ad-networks are more effective"
