Google Preparing "Google Mine" For Organizing and Sharing Your Stuff On Google+

MojoKid writes "George Carlin said it best, we all 'need a place to put our stuff.' It seems the folks at Google understand this age old wisdom as well and as such will be launching a new service. Google Mine will reportedly soon be integrated with Google+ so that users can share their belongings with friends in circles they so designate. The new service will also allow G+ users to rate and review items as well, so that anyone in your Google+ stream that you allow, can see the items and your opinion of them. Reportedly there is also an Android app on the way for Mine, which seems like a natural of course, for sharing your stuff on the go. What's perhaps most interesting about the prospects of Google+ Mine could be the secondary benefit that Google receives from data 'mining' your shares on the items you own, use or want."

When they say share...

...presumably they mean with the NSA?

I'll assume that since you're not an AC this is a serious complaint and not FUD. You can stop the "auto-backup" of all photos under Settings/Accounts/Google/Google+/Camera & Photos/Auto-Backup ... just set it to "Off". Here's hoping this doesn't get modded down as well. I've just about had it with the various FUD and astro-turfing campaigns going on right now.

Which is the default, actually. If it's been uploading everything, it's because you explicitly told it to.

Re:Carlin never said stuff

[Carlin never said stuff, h]e said "shit". He talked about people running out of room for their shit and having to get a bigger house so they could put more shit into it.

No, he said "stuff". [songlyrics.com] C'mon, dude, the title of the fucking album is A Place for My Stuff [wikipedia.org] . Have some respect and don't misquote Carlin:

Actually, this is just a place for my stuff, ya know? That's all; a little place for my stuff. That's all I want, that's all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff, ya know? I can see it on your table, everybody's got a little place for their stuff. This is my stuff, that's your stuff, that'll be his stuff over there.
That's all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. That's all your house is- a place to keep your stuff. If you didn't have so much stuff, you wouldn't need a house. You could just walk around all the time.
