I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I, too, am against the push to integrate all of my services. This is the main thing that's pushed me towards Twitter and stopped me really getting into Google+. I don't use it for email, publishing mobile apps, hosting my virtual servers, etc. It's essentially disposable. I've been online long enough to have had several identities which have served me well in certain circles, at certain times of my life. Being able to selectively dump these when necessary has been a way of online life for me. When I decided the everything-tracking creep factor of Facebook was too much, I just deleted the account completely (well, as much as one can do). I wasn't concerned that it might take down my email, or my mobile app purchase history, or any other manner of service. It was quite painless. Google+ and the drive to integrate everything is leading to the erosion of identity compartmentalisation. I know I can create multiple Google accounts, one for each service and each identity. However managing all of these at once (with Google's multi account login features) has always been very cumbersome. More so than an account with each service provider. And I never trust that my activity isn't being correlated across my individual accounts.
