Am I a Google fun or trapped by Google?
Morning comes, a new day starts.
I am sitting in front of my PC and working as usual. Normally, I wouldn't care about every detail I'm doing, but when I paid attention to them this morning, I feel like involving with too much Google.
1.0, log on Google to Google personalised home page: there are weather report, gmail notice, my news feeds, clock, bookmarks, calendar, etc...
2.0, Gmail. Communication is important.
3.0, Google talk. Can't remember from when, people started hanging on Google talk, thus sometimes I would chat via Google talk or built-in version in Gmail.
4.0, Google Reader. Get the news, get on with the world.
5.0, Google Search. You will find something interesting from the news, then you SEARCH.
5.1, Google suggest. See what are other people searching.
6.0, Google Notebook. Since Google pushes everything online, I'm so enjoying with this 'access everywhere' concept. I wouldn't make a note on my PC, instead, Google notebook.
7.0, Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Hang on a minute, there are something seem really important, it would be better if I keep a proper copy. In such case I choose Google Docs and Spreadsheet, the grown up version of Writely.
8.0, Start working (eventually). Need to talk to sb., but is the person in today? Google Calendar. Need to check some frequently visit website, Google Bookmark on the homepage.
9.0, I work on a new build web based project , SEO is supposed to be a significant part of my work. Then
9.1, Get 2G email boxes from Google Apps for the Domain,
9.2, Get web stats from Googel Analytics
9.3, Get the website more indexed by Google Sitemap
9.4, Advertise it on Google Adword
9.5, Find out the correct keywords from Google Suggest, Google trend and Google Zeitqeist.
9.6, Build up better search idea by Google Co-op
10.0 Need to go somewhere, Google Maps.
10.1 Have some fun with the journey, Google Earth, maybe Google Mars in case of sb. is actually from another planet.
11.0 Randomly visit Google Video (Youtube) and Google Image.
12.0 As a student, I couldn't escape from the essays, then Google Scholar, Google book, Google Translate.
13.0 I also have some others installed on the PC, including Google Toolbar, Picasa and Google Desktop.
That's it, start feeling a bit crazy. Am I a Google Fun? Or am I trapped by Google?

This is scary – OK if you trust Google but when/if it gets taken over by something nasty….?
