Security Dialog things

Google's new "Good to Know" website is a resource for everyone to learn more about online security—"whether you're a new Internet user or an old hand," Google says. The site covers a broad range of privacy and security topics.

Good to Know, for example, offers tips for creating secure passwords, reveals how Google uses your location in Google Maps, describes phishing and malware detection, and more. It's a good starter guide to refer family or friends learning about online security or to find out more about Google's privacy and security policies.
