Just gave up my iPhone yesterday. Switched to an HTC One X (Dual core 1.5Ghz, Android Ice Cream Sammich, 4.7" screen.. UNREAL). Buh bye Apple.

If for some reason I had to make this choice? Facebook. I wouldn't even blink.

Facebook would be the first one, of course. And iPhones don't interest me anymore.

  Google Search, or Google [Books, Docs, YouTube, Google+, Answers, GMail, etc.] If the latter, you are far stronger-willed than I, sir!

Interestingly enough, even though I don't value Facebook much, it's the only one that would be hard to replace: Google could be replaced with Bing or DuckDuckGo, iPhone with Android, but where will I keep track of all my Facebook friends?

  Well: the ones I really care about are either (a) in my contacts, (b) hacker types that have Google+ (I presume "Google" includes all google services.), or (c) I have their e-mail. Now, I would lose touch with a lot of people BUT I would still hear all the important things through word of mouth. I find that I don't honestly use FB to stay in touch. I use it as a glorified soapbox / timewaster. I know that I could live w/o Facebook because days go by where I don't check it at all. (I haven't really looked at it since Diablo 3 came out, for example. Then again, I haven't talked to my IRL friends either.) Not a day goes by that I don't have to use a Google service (they're my email provider, for starters. also as a programmer Google is kind of a necessity.) And my iPhone? Well. I feel kind of naked if I don't have it.(or it isn't charged.) There's a really weird helplessness that comes with being unable to call for help at any given moment in time.
