I used to be a Google fan as well. Not a BIG fan but a fan.
In late 2010 I decided it was time to move on from Google. It took a while but I already went back to Firefox (nightly), started moving my emails to fasmail.fm (with my own domain so I'm not tied to anyone), I'm trying to use only DuckDuckGo (it's difficult... I have to admit that Google is unbeatable yet), stopped using google+ and Google Reader (since 2011), avoiding Google Talk, Analytics and Web Master Tools, etc. I think I'll make it to the end of this year. They are evil.
- lawdawg 14y agoIs this the tech version of Poe's Law? Or is it the new version of tin-foil-hatism? You guys have a very, very strange definition of "evil". Google may not be perfect, and sure they deserve some harsh criticism and mocking from time to time for their choice of unofficial motto, but come on people, get a grip.
- myko 14y agoI think felipebueno was being sarcastic, just did a poor job of getting that across. It doesn't look like a serious comment to me.
- felipebueno 14y agoYeah, it was a (poor) joke =P. But I really don't like Google anymore and I'm going to avoid their stuff.
- felipebueno 14y agoI know, I know, the "evil" thing was a bit exaggerated. I know they are a big corp (like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc) and need to make (big) money (no matter what it takes) to maintain it's infrastructure. I just don't like that and that's just my opinion.
- mehrzad 14y agoTry !sp in DDG.
- felipebueno 14y agoThanks, man! I'm going to try that. =)
- felipebueno 14y agoYep! I'm using it right now and I liked it very much. The power of Google with privacy. Thanks, man! =)
- pseut 14y agoFYI you can get xmpp through fastmail too. That sounds almost exactly like my experience too.
- felipebueno 14y agoHey, thanks, man! I didin't know that. :)
