Greater Transparency with Google Dashboard

This morning, Google launched a new feature called "Google Dashboard" that lets users view (and in some cases control,) what data is being stored and analyzed on a range of more than 20 Google services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Orkut, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and others.

Services not currently included -- Analytics, AdWords, AdSense, and Book Search among others -- will be added in later versions.
