I know some people have thought about quitting Google and wondering if they can survive the disconnect. Well, one man is trying - you know, for giggles.

I only use 2 Google services. GPlus and mobile Google Maps. As soon as Apple releases street view, I'll be down to one. And when GPlus shuts down, I'll be down to zero.

I wonder if the people that say having too much with one provider is not good, would feel more comfortable having e-mail from AOL (some people still have it LOL), social with Facebook, SMS/MMS through the cell provider, search through Yahoo, files/docs with OneDrive and so on, you get my point.  I certainly wouldn't.  I have made my choice, it's Google for everything.  I still use other services but nothing beats Google right now.

I think the important difference is whether you use a service or rely on a service. I use lots of Google services but the only one I probably fully rely on is Google Voice.

I have my own email so I could redirect that at any time. I use Google Drive but it is sync'd to my laptop so all my files are there - same goes with my music. In a pinch I could even use my carrier number in lieu of Google Voice. The reason why I stick with Google is that they don't lock in you to their services like so many others.  Oh and because their services are the best right now.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
