Everything you ever Google, now on Twitter

19 hrs.

Our privacy, much like rain forests, pandas and the American Dream, is toast.

True, we cling to those few remaining crumbs by whining about tech companies manhandling what's left of our personal information, but imagine how liberating it would be to stop pretending we ever really cared and just let it all go? OverShareMe,?a new Chrome extension developed by Darren Nix?at this year's Angelhack SF,?helps you do just that, by sending each and every one of your Google searches into the open Twitterverse.

Alas, your Google searches are shared via the OverShareMe Twitter feed, @PlzOverShareMe, and the app's official website, and not through your own Twitter account. Your particular Google searches are indentifiable only through the hashtag you assign the app when you download it to Chrome.

For example, if I wanted to make my Google searches easy to find, I'd assign the hashtag that matches my Twitter account (so @helenaspopkin becomes #helenaspopkin). Then my Google searches would be tweeted by OverShareMe like this:

@PlzOverShareMe: #helenaspopkin How is babby formed?

I'm not going to do that, however, at least until the rest of the world is sharing everything they Google, thus creating a world in which privacy is completely obliterated and humanity is brought together by the understanding that yes, it's true ? that disgusting embarrassing thing we Google, like, all the time??Yeah. Pretty much everyone else Googles it, too.??

Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about the Internet. Tell her to get a real job?on?Twitter?and/or?Facebook. Also,?Google+.
