Google Dashboard Tells You What It Knows

Google is starting to promote its Dashboard feature--a tool that tells you what Google knows about you and in some ways seems to address any privacy concerns that folks might have. It takes the Google applications you use and lists how you use it and what information you have stored (always a good thing to know and to think about). Give a watch to the video below.
I went ahead and signed into Google Dashboard and while I wasn’t wowed I do like having access to that information in case I need it. I have no doubt it will one day come in very very handy.
Now I just need a Google Wave invite!
Anyone?
