       @_mark Any suggestions on how best to de-Google your life? I've tried DuckDuckGo in the past, but for some reason it never really stuck.

       @samwighttAny reason why you didn't keep using it?I started by writing all the service I had then whether I still used them or not. The one by one looked for replacements or in the case of things like Google analytics I stopped using altogether.

       @_markI kids found that it didn't have as relevant results to me imo. DuckDuckGo couldn't match Google in local results, even when I gave it my exact location, and I just found that Google 'got' me a lot more than DDG. It was just easier to find what I was lookout for with Google. And thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into doing that!

       @_mark How's the de-googling process going?It's one of my goals, but it feels really daunting. I can't think of too many google services I *haven't* used over the years, and I've had a google account since April 29, 2004 (dang, I thought it was later than that! -- just looked it up)
