Is Google trying to force me back to Hotmail? Over to Bing?

Clock counts down as Google privacy change looms | Digital Media - CNET News

I have struggled through some of the privacy changes and gave up. Instead I have been reading what other faster, smarter more informed people have written and maybe I will have go back to Hotmail or even my old yahoo mail account.
I don't want to but what to do. With Google it seems I have been putting all of my eggs in one basket and that might not be the best thing to do. But I've come to love and depend on Google products.

Bing? NOOOOO!

I don't know. And blogging, not that am any good, popular etc. but hey I use mostly Google stuff. This must be a plot to drive me away. That is it! They found out about my dependance on them and decided to tighten the screw till I left because I am dragging the value of the company down with my attitude and good looks.

I don't know. I feel that with the new changes we should be at least a little concerned about where they will take this.

What to do? Any good advice would be appreciated. Bad advice would be read too.

Just a little paranoid
