In line with the de-Google-ifying...
... I'm trying to effect, I'm sharing a few links to alternatives.
- Duck Duck Go for search. Great for keyboard and privacy nuts.
- Zoho as an online office suite. My personal-personal email goes through them.
- Tumblr for microblogging. I like that Buzz doesn't have the usual 140-character limit, coupled with the fact that it's lightweight, which I can sort of replicated with Tumblr.
I'm also looking at Bloglines as a replacement for Google Reader.
At some point, I'll be looking into hosting my own computing-in-the-Cloud solutions, to remove my reliance on Zoho and possibly Tumblr and Bloglines.
Update: I think I'll go with Cheetah News for now. I can't quite get over how easy it is to go through feed items in Google Reader, though. :( I might stick with it until/unless I can get that own cloud-computing thing going.
