Something new on the Google Takeout menu: +1's

Two and a half weeks ago, we launched Google Takeout, and the response has been overwhelming: you want more data in Google Takeout! Well, we’ve heard you, and have a little more data to tide you over for now: Takeout now includes a list of the websites that you’ve +1’ed.

We’ve still got plenty more data to liberate -- including +1’s on stream posts and comments -- but we just wanted to give you a quick update.

    Would love to have the demographics and web behavior data Google has on me. When will that be added?

    Hello! It would be an AMAZING feature for individuals to be able to use this feature on disabled accounts. I say this because I've had my account disabled for no reason and have no recourse or method of accessing my data, which was unexpectedly yanked from the Internet. Please tell me you can insta-add this feature so I may get my emails back :)

    Can you get the +1 list in the form of a browser bookmarks list? It would be great to have this from within a browser like you can with e.g. delicious bookmarks.

    The behavioral stats would be interesting to see.

    Heck, I may be able to self diagnose myself with internet news addiction. :) I mean how kewl would it be to know what i am going to want to buy way before I want to buy it. I could budget much more accurately with that data.

    In fact, with Google's behavioral model I could skip all of the shopping and fretting over whether I should buy something or not. Just think of the time savings. It would probably increase my work time productivity by 20-30%. From that perspective, by releasing that data to all of us, Google could single handedly boost the GDP and grow our economy out of debt. Damn, them for wanting to keep us economically indebted! :)

    BTW - good work guys
