An overview of the entire Google empire. Just how much Google products are powering your life, your work, your entertainment, your business, your communication, your internet, your everything.

Here’s the list of Google products that I actively use:

Cancel Google

Vincent — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 09:49:49 +0000

Apparently there are people who have Google as their browser homepage, or have Google toolbar installed and wish to eliminate them. Unfortunately, they are so not tech savvy they have no idea what’s going on. So, ironically, they Google for “cancel google” and ended up on this blog post, which happens to be the first result.

They posted comments on that unrelated blog post and I find some of them pretty hilarious. Here are some handpicked comments, the first one is a gem.

hello i am 82 years old and google is on my computer withour permission IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. my compoter is slow now and i want to contact the internet what is the number?

Mr. Pratt
Ever since Google got on my COMPUTER it was slow. It is rude and I don’t like it. It was because my grandson came to my COMPUTER to look for a phone number. Now google is on my COMPUTER. Please cancel, I do not wish to be billed for it.

PageRank Dropped Twice

Vincent — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:38:52 +0000

On the most recent PageRank update, Google reduced this blog’s PageRank from 5 to 4. A while later, it was again reduced, to 3 this time. I was kinda disappointed seeing it, but no longer after knowing most websites are being slapped by the almighty Google. Here’s how my PageRank looks like overtime, starting from 0 when I first start the blog.

0 → 3 → 5 → 4 → 3 (current)

Check out Daily Blog Tips for the list of A-list bloggers and mainstream websites that have their PageRank reduced. Most blogs with their PageRank penalized are due to selling text links, although some others still get penalized without selling.

Not sure about others but the PageRank drop of websites like Copyblogger (6 to 4) that did not sell text links made me feel that PageRank no longer holds value.

This is not a rant post or to show that I’m unhappy with Google, since it is my fault to sell text links in the first place, I’m always ready to take the consequences. Just wanted to notify all text link sponsors on this blog that all text links will only stay until it expires and will not be renewed. Sponsored post will still be accepted though.
