Google takes all

Creating a Google Docs word processing document was effortless; saving it to the Internet seemed handy. I'm inclined to agree with the CommonCraft narrator that "Google Docs rocks" -- but did he have to end with that kinda creepy, ambiguous hand signal? Am I to understand that Google offers word processing and recruits for nefarious street organizations?

An Internet home seems useful for some information, but can Google Docs really offer "full control over who can see and access your documents"? And even if Google can do it today, can they do it tomorrow? My radical trust feels a bit strained.
