			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been ambiguous about Google for quite a while now. What started as an amazingly innovative and efficient search engine, grew up to be quite a monster of internet services and advertising tools. That, in itself, isn&#8217;t a bad thing. A big company isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad company.</p>
<p>Yet, bit by bit, Google services seem less and less appealing. First &#8211; the flagship &#8211; the almighty Google search engine. Gimmicks like Google Suggest and Google Instant became annoying rather quickly, and didn&#8217;t add much to the search efficiency &#8211; rather the opposite. Then, there&#8217;s the fact that Google seems to think that it knows what are you looking for &#8211; even without you asking for it. When you search certain keywords, Google will give you results which include many &#8220;related&#8221; keywords, but a lot of the time it just interferes with the search process.</p>
<p>To top it off, the amount of data and info Google&#8217;s gathering about us is frightening. And finally &#8211; <strong>the results are useless, still full of spam and too mainstream in many cases</strong> (That&#8217;s why I use <a href="http://duckduckgo.com" target="_blank">DuckDuckGo</a> in most of my English searches) .</p>
<p>Gmail is still great, but then there&#8217;s always that nagging fear that one day you&#8217;ll try to login and find that your account have been closed, canceled or hacked into, and no one in Google will lift a finger to help you with that. I have regular pop3 mail and many backups, but that&#8217;s not enough for me. I eagerly await a webmail that supports Hebrew in an efficient way &#8211; when I find that, I&#8217;ll switch immediately.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s Google+, which so many rave on and on about. Yeah, it&#8217;s cool and slick, it&#8217;s fast and you can have a nice social media experience with it. Yes. So? That&#8217;s also true for Twitter, Facebook and reddit. Oh, and hey &#8211; everyone is on Google+, too. Again &#8211; so? &#8220;Everyone is doing it&#8221; has never been a good reason for anything.</p>
<p>I have several websites and blogs, accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and reddit &#8211; there&#8217;s no reason for me to maintain yet another data-sucking account, even if many other people think it&#8217;s cool.</p>
<p>So, I <a href="http://forkbombr.net/delete-google-plus-account/" target="_blank">deleted my Google+ account</a>. I find that having one less Google service is a good idea. I think it&#8217;s time for me to limit my Google exposure. Where there are substitutes &#8211; I&#8217;ll happily use them. Where there aren&#8217;t any &#8211; I&#8217;ll tread carefully.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>TL;DR</strong>: I deleted my Google+ account. Why? Because FUCK YOU, that&#8217;s why.</p>
