Google owns me

It took me a while to realize this, but Google owns me. Or at least it owns my online life, or what I like to call my e-life [very catchy, I know. I think this whole "e-anything" thing is going to really catch on]. I was on the internet one day using Firefox and I looked at all the tabs I had open and suddenly realized-they were all Google tabs. Here is my current Google hitlist-the Google services I use from most often to least often.

1. Gmail
2. Google Search
2. Google News (ugly, but effective)
3. Google Reader (To 'feed' my blog addiction)
4. Blogger (yeah, I should really try to move this up the list)
5. Google Desktop (just got it recently. Pretty cool, but the jury is still out)
6. Google Video + Youtube (Gootube!)
7. Google Calendar (Didn't think I would find this useful, but the sharing feature makes it great)
8. Google Maps (And Google Local)
9. Google Notebook (kind of like Del.icio.us but worse)
10. Google Docs (Documents and spreadsheets are now together. I predict I will be using this one more and more in the future. Great idea that really has legs.)
11. Picasa + Picasaweb (Ridiculously easy photo -> web transfer. Best thing PC users got until iPhoto comes out for PCs)
12. Google Analytics (website stats for my blog. yes, I'm watching you...)
13. Google Finance (Google is releasing their quarterly numbers today!)

Other Google apps I have used but don't really use regularly

14. Google Page Creator (very easy web page creation, but still nothing too exciting)
15. Froogle (not really useful for Canadians yet)
16. Google Personalized Homepage (from 1996 to 2006, personalized homepages just never really took off did they?)
17. Google Talk (not useful until everyone is on Gmail I guess)
18. Google Earth (still don't understand how this program works or what its appeal is-someone please educate me)
19. Sketchup (awesome little 3D imaging program. Great for when moving into a new space.)
20. Google Book Search (You can actually read the pages of a book in this thing! amazing)
21. Google Tool Bar (great for auto-filling out online forms like contest entry forms etc.)

I can't believe how long this list is. When I started it, I thought it would be about 8-10 items long. I didn't even realize how much Google owns me. Scary thing is, Google is not paying me a cent to promote all these services. Redeeming factor is, Google is not charging me a cent to use all these services.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again, what the heck did we do before the Internet?
