Okay, it’s no surprise that I’ve drunk the Google kool-aid.

… I mean, I definitely see the flaws in some of the sparse code and in keeping all my data in one place… but generally speaking, I don’t care. It’s too useful for me to care. Having data that cross-relates is too cool for me to worry about my privacy, which I think is an illusion anyway.

I have to laugh at my reactions when I ask someone for their email address and they give me a different web-based email. My first reaction is to think, “Haven’t they used gmail? Clearly they’ve just been holding onto this yahoo account for years.”

*laugh* It honestly doesn’t occur to me (at first) that they might have partaken from the google spread, found it wanting, and returned to something they like better.

Mmmm, delicious kool-aid.

  1. *chuckle* I keep my Yahoo account because I’ve had it since before GMail am I’m too lazy to go through the hassle of changing both of my webmail addresses to one Gmail address.

    • My yahoo account is mostly fallow – and that’s largely the fault of its ineffective spam filter. It’s almost entirely spam.

      My hotmail account is also rarely used – though I need to remember to log in once in awhile, they’re jerks about dumping you even if you use your IM every day and log into Xbox live with that account.

  2. Yeah, I always do a doubletake when someone gives me a yahoo or a hotmail address. “Really? Why?!”

    Especially now that I have my Android phone, and all my Google stuff is literally at my fingertips at all times.

  3. Isn’t it awesome? I mean, I can totally quit anytime I want…I just don’t want to, yet.
