I'm glad I deleted my account months ago. Delete yours today. Don't @ me if you're just gonna say "muh friends and family".

@starbreaker I have a long dormant account that I'm going to post to for the last time this weekend, with contact details and such. After a week, I'll delete the account, and commence with an un-clouding process (Facebook, Twitter, and Google, at least), and a consolidation of my internet presence. I think it's time.
@kevinja @starbreaker I reeeeeeeaaaaally need to get rid of all my Google accounts :\ anyone know of a similar platform where one can collaborate with people on documents/spreadsheets/etc?
@ajdonovan2k @starbreaker Yeah, Google is going to be the hardest to untether from, for sure. I have a GMail, a Google music account (which my kids use), I watch a fair bit of YouTube, and I am a sometimes Android developer.
As far as office docs go, you're right - they've choked the air out of the competition on that market too. I don't know of anything that works as well as Google Docs for collaboration.
@kevinja @starbreaker I mostly use Fastmail now for email, and already use DDG, StartPage and FireFox for interneting. But yeah, drive/docs/etc will be hard to replace - especially when most people aren't going to want to switch services.
