Is it ok to love Google?

12 November 2009, 12:29

Google Search, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Apps, Google Wave, Google Mail, Google Sketchup, Google Desktop, Google News, Blogger (by Google), YouTube (by Google)...

I use the whole lot one way or another, and I haven't even listed all the other offerings which I don't use, at the moment.

The thing is, I don't just use them. Some of them I pretty much completely rely on.

...ah, got to go out. Will post this anyway. Anyone else find they have a possibly unhealthy attachment to Google these days. Anyone bothered, or just happy that such a great company is out there giving us all this stuff?

Of course it's ok... especially when they have Sesame St on

So, the general concensus is that Google is pretty benevolent? I was kind of expecting a few rants about privacy invasion and so on. Just the safe search thing as a slight negative? It would be nice to think that there is a giant corporation which is actually very nice and just wants to make the world a better place.
