A word of warning for Blog readers who have delighted in chemical industry spectacular videos like "INEOS Dormagen Fire", "Global News Meeting Houston", "EPCA Berlin 2007", "APLA 2007 Buenos Aires" and many more. A US court has ruled that Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube. This had wide coverage in the media today, including this BBC article spotted by fellow blogger Jim Muttram in a posting on his Inflection Point blog.
As Jim says:
"This is a bad thing for the privacy of every YouTube user, but potentially a much worse thing for Google, whose whole business is built on the trust of its users as more and more of their personal data and web behaviour becomes Google based."
