Excellent list. I don't think this has been posted here yet. Lists alternative products for google services. Also, interestingly enough it uses product hunt to gather upvotes, something i hadn't bothered to check yet, but seems interesting in itself. I don't know if it's just me becoming aware or not, but boy oh boy, the internet recently seems to be blossoming with new services.

And yet... these are all for Google products that are NOT going away. I see not a single thing about Google+ in this at all!.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Hatchett Good point. However these services can be combined with other platforms to yield g+ alternatives. Note that there are a couple relevant services - blogger, hangouts, translate that can be lego pieces of a self-organized social network.

ReplyDeleteGranted... however I find the entire site somewhat suspect due to the initial misleading premise it presents:
1) "No More Google" is flat out wrong.
2). Because of that there is no need to consider replacements for ANY of the other products.
Andrew Hatchett Well actually some are making the argument that google drops their services without much warning so you'll find they are keeping their eyes open for alternatives in general. But, list was offered just in case it was useful, i didn't vet it particularly closely, but to me it looks pretty sound. As they say YMMV.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Hatchett If you think the article is questionable and i might need to delete it, let me know and i'll go double check it. Obviously it has bias against google, but i didn't notice a questionable marketing bias or such. Anyway you seem concerned. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteIP. Man or use chromuim since that is what Google Chrome is built from. All the benefits, none of the Google baked in stuff.

Joseph Holland You might be able through a VPN. I think Opera has one built-in still.
ReplyDeleteJoseph Holland Why in the world a country like Ireland ever blocks Vimeo?!! :-/ I'm asking because Ireland is my dream country to live one day...
ReplyDeleteI get used to log in to my Google Accounts and reach all the great tools like gmail, drive, youtube etc. I'm also using my humble little Android Samsung Tab3 tablet... I'm happy with those. Also the most recent Chrome works great on my old laptop. Should I still move on just because they gave up on G+ ?... That's a genuine question. Because I get used to their environment.
ReplyDeleteKerem Go If i understand your question, Only g+ (for consumers) is going away, not the other google services, so you can carry on as usual except for the eventual loss of g+. However, google may drop other services in the future, that we don't know.

ReplyDeleteThere is no free speech in the United Kingdom. It's gone there.
Everyone knows that.
No need to ask why. It is completely arbitrary.
Some years ago [ circa 2015 ] a priest in Ireland was taken to court by the government.
He had delivered a sermon critical of Islam and it was broadcast live.
The cops came after him. Because as you know, some people are above the law and must never be criticized.
Certainly not with evidence and reasoning.
I work very actively on free speech issues across Europe and on major human rights.
Any and all of my anti-slavery work and work on violence against women over the years would get me jailed in parts of Europe.
That is just how it is.
You are not familiar with the U.K.
It has changed drastically in just the last fifteen years.
If I were to go back there and they knew who I was, then they would probably reject my entry to Britain.
That is what happens to the good guys.
Examples?
Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller.
Whom I have long actively supported.
They came to London to lay a wreath at the grave of Lee Rigby circa 2015. They were denied entry.
Everything has changed across The Pond. It will get worse, not better.
wcangel This is awful to hear... I couldn't follow everything going on here that close of course - but as much as I can. I didn't know its that much worse. I'm from the country Turkey btw. And first thing I've thought while reading your comment is that when it was became a "crime" to criticize islam in a Christian country?!! Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteKerem Go
ReplyDeleteIt is outside the scope of this thread.
But I gave concrete examples for the U.K.
You can google Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London. Search on "Sadiq Khan" "free speech" 'hate crimes" "London police".
No need to say more here.
Obviously there is no free speech in Turkey either. Lots of journalists get jailed there.
It is unusual for an Americano, but I follow the political work of Turkish premier Erdogan.
He is a pivotal player in international politics both for the Near East and for Europe.
Technically he and I are committed to opposing sides.
The difference is that unlike Erdogan I use force of reason rather than sheer political and military force.
In late March 2016 Erdogan came very close to starting a shooting war between NATO and Russia over Syria.
So just be very thankful that Europe and Turkey and other regions were not incinerated.
It was touchy for a while.
Way too close.
The saving grace is that Vladimir Putin is a rational politician. The problem is that he will threaten the worst.
It's a slippery slope.
