I like their weekly email newsletter. It is curated well for the best content. I don't use the service or visit their site.

I've been using RSS for long and I don't see not using it in any near future. I use a combination of Brief ( http://brief.mozdev.org/ ) and Google Reader.

Whoaa...I am not very technical, but the first question that comes to mind is, what would be a difference between this and what Tor attempts to accomplish?

I'd rather they make it as a simple enough choice (a check box or something). There are privacy implications of auto-complete and I personally believe Firefox is accurate in not enabling it by default.

For my use, I measured my memory usage on both Firefox and Chrome (with whatever little number of tabs I keep open daily), and I found that the memory usage on both Firefox and Chrome is exactly the same. So I don't bother with Google and r

auto-complete is there in Firefox, it is just not there by default.

One can also forget the bookmarks if they're local to you, as in Firefox. Plus they're backed up through Sync. This just in case when you can no longer rely on Delicious, or Google for that matter.

The 800 pound gorilla that Google is, forcing everyone to go Social, isn't targeting tech-aware communities on the Internet. They know they wouldn't go anywhere if they were to just target the tech-aware public. So, the comment above is in

This is basically for wordpress.com users who purchase something from Automattic (domain) to sell something to the world (Ads). There is no indication on what you, the blogger on wordpress.com, may be earning in return for this transaction

How's that a privacy concern? Imagine a gmail user in your address book who has not signed up for Plus or you don't care about that person. He/she would be seeing your Plus feed unintentionally. Of course your feed is public in the first pl

This is an old news. G+ integrated your feed into Gmail a while back. Another one of the privacy concerns.

That's exactly what I've been saying. I don't understand why I should use Google Plus, in fact I don't anymore and I don't really think I am missing anything. I don't understand why I should plus one anything or share anything. What's in it

You see, G+ is doing exactly what Facebook does. The brands are basically duplicating their efforts for social interaction. I don't see any difference between how FB treats page creation versus Google Plus.

You mean Facebook over Google? I don't prefer it, but that's where most of the average Internet users are.

I got on board early, hoping that friends and family will eventually move over from Facebook. A handful did in the beginning but eventually I realized that nobody is moving from Facebook. I eventually turned my G+ off completely. I think

How does creating a contact group in Gmail connects it to a SMS number? I am curious.
