<h1 style="text-align: center;">DRAFT - exploring my love hate relationship with google</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">the good, the bad and the ugly</h2>
<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>]&nbsp;I have a love hate relationship with this tech giant. </strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] in the begining it was all good.&nbsp;The savvy little search engine that could. It consistently delivered the best results, fast, and it&nbsp;was easy to use and came from the collection of nerds who's corporate mantra was "Do No Evil". How could we go wrong?</li>
<li>]&nbsp;googles search&nbsp;engine quickly moved people away from their yahoo directory browsing habits and over the years they continued to add service after service in addition to search. Some services, like gmail and&nbsp;google&nbsp;calendar&nbsp;are ubuqitous and nearly as widely adopted as their search engine. Some don't seem to resonate with users and will eventually end up in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">google graveyard</span>. Some do resonate and end up in the graveyard anyways</li>
<li>] now i have to admit that i was somewhat naive. I didn't realize that every search query that I typed into the google search box was being recorded and stored against my 'profile'.</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] Lets start with&nbsp;the love side, <span style="background-color: #00ff00;">the GOOD GOOGLE </span></strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] I think they make some <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/view/article?id=4250" target="_blank">great products</a></strong></span> and I am more then happy to use them "free" of charge,</li>
<li>] Hey, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/view/article?id=1984" target="_blank">i get it</a></strong></span>, I know that free of charge doesn't necessarily&nbsp;come without a cost, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they say</span> that&nbsp;<em><strong>"if your not paying for the product, you are the product"</strong></em></li>
<li><strong>] being an optimist, let look closer at <span style="background-color: #ffffff;">the good side of google</span></strong></li>
<li>] [2015-mm-dd] GOOD # # - a <strong>google employee</strong> tells you, the 10 things he wished he had know before he started</li>
<li>] [2015-mm-dd] GOOD # # - <strong>google investor</strong> - + google is the new gold, # 4206 google is the new msft, # peak google</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] so, part of what i am trying to figure out is exactly <span style="background-color: #ffcc99;">what is the non dollar cost to me of using Googles services?</span></strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] giving up all/a lot of&nbsp;my data&nbsp;to google</li>
<li>] trusting my data&nbsp;with google</li>
<li>] perhaps the question shouldn't be one of love or hate, but perhaps it should be one of trust, <span style="background-color: #ffcc99;"><strong>how much do you trust google?</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] why on earth would anyone hate on google?</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] there seems to be&nbsp;some growing concerns being expressed around the company that started out as,</li>
<li>] Now, its a given, no matter how good you are, its likely that&nbsp;some people will hate on you. That hate likely grows exponentially with any success that you acheive.</li>
<li>] if you dont like that fact that&nbsp;googles free services are vacuuming up all of your data that they feel is relevant to themselves, the door is right there, nobody is forcing you(or me)&nbsp;to use them. It's not like there&nbsp;aren't any <span style="text-decoration: underline;">number of alternatives</span> for any one of the services that google offers.</li>
<li>] now dont think, that you will be completely google free, even if you cease to use any of their services, have you&nbsp;ever sent email anyone with a gmail address, visited a website with ads on it or one that used google analytics tools(many do)</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] OK then,&nbsp;are these some reasons to hate on google, or at least ask the question,<span style="background-color: #ffff00;"> is google evil?</span></strong></li>
