Hi Sue!

here in Romania the students find so difficult not use Google for a single day, mainly because they like it and they don’t care about his negative aspects or to try alternatives. Everybody loves Google!
I break the rule just to post but I really hate the idea not to check my Gmail account.

I made it through the day without too much stress. Discovered a few new sites and some search engines that I will probably use again. But I have to admit that I am a googleholic and I don't care

Going without Google for a day is, for me, like going without a net connection. I need my news, I need my email, I need search query results at my fingertips – Google’s personalised services have everything there for me. I have even started using Gmail on my Blackberry over the vodafone-pushed email as it has a more personalised, shorter email address. I only use one other search engine, Alta Vista, and even there I only use the Babelfish tool.

My preference for Google as primary search engine is due to the fact no other search gets the results I want, there’s just too much kruft to sort through.

There is a huge list of “questionable” Google Street View Sightings here. Though many have been censored already.
