Google Dashboard is a very useful service, which summarize the data stored with a Google account. With the many new services and features launched every week, it is a good practice to check the settings in Google Dashboard at least once a month, if not, more frequent. Services, which are enabled in the Google Dashboard are listed on the top half of the list. Note that there are still many services not integrated with the dashboard yet… more reason to check the dashboard once in a while to ensure your privacy settings are setup accordingly to your preference.

Cheers!

Happy half-birthday Dashboard! Six months in and 100,000 users a day

Six months ago, we launched the Google Dashboard to help you view and control information stored in your Google Account. It’s organized according to the products you use (like Gmail, Docs or YouTube), listing data stored in your account and providing direct links to control your personal settings.

Since we’re celebrating our very first half-birthday, we thought it was the ideal time to update you on how things are going. On average, around 100,000 unique visitors a day check out their Dashboard, 85 percent for the first time. Since launch, we’ve worked to grow Dashboard, adding a number of other Google products including Sites, Maps, Books, Webmaster Tools, Buzz, Goggles, Sidewiki and Analytics. We’re still working on adding other products to the tool and are talking with users about new ways to improve the functionality moving forward.

We launched the Dashboard to provide you with greater transparency and control. We’re proud of its success so far and look forward to what’s next. If you haven’t looked at your own Dashboard yet, check it out!
