Google & its creeping ways.
In another step for google taking over things that I do when on the web, I have them now covering the visitor stats for this site. So doing a quick recap on how much I rely on google,
- Google Reader - contains all my news feeds (there are over 200 in there, most are read on a weekly basis)
- Gmail - kind of a no brainer (handles all private mail)
- Google Calender - handles most of my appointments and due dates for things (all backed up locally in outlook)
- iGoogle Homepage - Homepage for bookmarks and other random noise
- Google Notebook - Some drafting when out and about
- Google Scholar - Uni research (using uni library login)
- Google Finance - For monitoring stocks throughout the day
- Google Groups - Odd bit of info needed about something obscure can generally be found in there.
- Google News - Well it’s news.
I’ll stop there cause it’s getting a little shameful. It just goes to show how much reliance on one single entitiy a person can have without even noticing it creeping in. How much of google do you use? (that includes android, APIs, etc)
