But not for the reasons one might think. I
don’t use them as my browser, unless I need some clip art for my blogs; I do
have a gmail address as a back-up for those companies or persons to whom I don’t
wish to give my “real” e-mail address; I block all the pop ads and have
basically allowed them to only share minimal information on me; I do use them as my "address" for various other accounts, but again allowing them only my e-mail and name, so why do I
love Google one might ask.
Simply because at some point I had opened
up a calendar run under Google’s auspices (don’t remember if the family was
trying to organize something, or a group of friends or whatever as it has been
so long ago), but I still get my reminders of important events on said calendar
in my inbox everyday – they all read
“you
have no events scheduled today Wed Feb 24, 2016”.
Now my real calendar might have half a dozen events
or appointments in barely legible writing – no trace of that will ever show up
in my inbox. Probably time to unlink the calendar but there is something
comforting about seeing that phrase every day – making it seem that in spite of
my busy life I have a whole day free.
