It sure makes things more complicated this way.

Google is a big company. They should know better than this. Unfortunately though, I fear that privacy online is pretty much a thing of the past with http://www.dirtyphonebook.com posting everybody's number and personal information online and sites like http://www.unvarnished.com that post personal reviews about your workplace performance. It's a scary and different world we inhabit today as compared to the world that our parents and grandparents grew up in. But I wonder if ultimately it might not lead to a change for the better as peoples sins are exposed over the long run. I also wonder if a lawsuit isn’t in order. Google is a big company.

But one service I could not stop using was all those gmail stuff, so I kept that up. Fortunately, I was able to pre-emptively block Buzz before it could be enabled. Thank goodness. Nevertheless, I've gone back to using my backup non-Google email provider more and more. The bigger Google gets, the more I hate it. And all because Google's business models relies upon advertising to generate revenue for Google's coffers. I hate ads, which is why I don't watch TV anymore. Ad blockers are great. I just wish someone could make one that blocks Google. With Google becoming more and more evil day by day, I stopped using most of their services years ago (yes, years).
