Google announced today the launch of their Web History product. If you have a Google account with Search History activated you can review every search you’ve conducted across all Google products (Web, Video, Froogle, even Sponsored Links you’ve clicked).

Google Web History

Google is also trying to push their toolbar - if you use the toolbar you then have access to your entire History, not only searches.

One of the interesting features is the ability to Bookmark a page you visited - it appears as if Google may try to step on Yahoo’s deli.icio.us‘ toes a little with this product as well. One of the things I would love to see is a way to flag a result as the intended website for a specific search. This would give Google the ability to leverage the “knowledge of the masses” and strengthen their search results.

For those of you wearing your tin-foil hats, the thought of Google tracking all of your activity is a bit scary. But, as long as you don’t activate Search History (or install the toolbar) those queries are never linked to you.

Personally, I find this tool to be very powerful - I quickly scanned all the way back to when I created my Google account and found a lot of interesting tidbits I have since forgotten. I rarely remember a URL anymore and reference websites based off of the query I submit to Google - the bookmarking feature will allow me to further leverage my history and ultimately decrease the number of queries I send to Google’s pigeons.
