Plenty of Lip Service, No Click Traffic

Have you put your name on the Do Not Call list? Do you shred personal information? Well, then why don't you use a search engine that erases your personal information? You don't know? Well, neither do I. Apparently, people pay a lot of lip service to online privacy, but don't actually follow it through when it comes to deserting search engines that track you and what you search for.

Ultimately, I think it comes down to the fact that people don't realize how much is captured about them when they're online. No other mainstream medium -- TV, radio, newspaper, essentially anything short of a wiretap -- does not produce nearly as much personal information. Since people have no experience with this, they have spent little time thinking about the possible drawbacks to the blessed Internet.
