You can vote up multiple entries below to indicate how much you would trust them with.
Bottom line is - Rely on them? Yes; Trust them? No.
I just voted, but (maybe because English is not my primary language) I didn't understand the poll very well. While I RELY on Google for some email accounts, analytics and search queries, I wouldn't say I "trust" Google. Bottom line is - Rely on them? Yes; Trust them? No.
Could you pls explain what is the purpose of this poll?

Doesn't relying imply trust?
A clearer question would be "what do you expect Google to do, how effectively and consistently do you expect them to do it, how well does that serve you and what alternatives do you imagine?"

As for the Analytics/Docs etc. I use them because my clients do and I don't have many other places to point them to.
As for Trusting, what I mean is that I think that they would breach my privacy if they wanted/had to. It's a corporation that profits based on its user data, so I wouldn't be they'll look after their users if it affects their bottomline.
Poll seems to be good but 'trust google' is a broad question. Companies and people are bound by rules and regulations. If something like Google Buzz happens, they will get punished.

Technically and functionally, Google shows significant prowess. I put a fair amount of trust in them from a technical perspective (though search is suffering now). In terms of defending cyber-attacks--I remember when the Chinese government was backing a bunch of hackers that compromised ~100 acounts (I think?), but Google was on top of it and also reported them to the DoD ultrafast.
I'm imaging other companies of their size being placed in the same position and wondering about how they'd fare...
