I completely disagree. I probably trust Google more than any other company. I bought a cheap phone on CL and put Android on it, which Google (and the wonderful folks at Cyanogen) have made available for free. I keep loads of my data on Google servers for free, and importing and exporting it is easy. If it wasn't for Google I'd be paying for email, using slow and/or expensive desktop calendar, email and document clients, have no control over the software on my own phone, and be printing out line-by-line MapQuest directions any time I wanted to drive somewhere new. I got a Gmail account in 2004 and since then have moved more and more of my life into Google's system. In those 7 years I've never been disappointed. I don't really have anything against Facebook, but if Facebook can do it, Google can probably do it better while also giving me more control and transparency. That's what they've done with everything else they've touched.
