Sorry I haven’t the time to write much of a blog post today. After writing about Google+ and social search the other day, I started systemically removing everything I’ve ever posted to anything owned by Google. And it’s a good thing. Yesterday The Washington Post wrote about Google’s new terms of service, that Google plans to follow a user’s activities across all of the platforms it operates, such as Gmail and YouTube.

Apparently Google is facing some backlash over this. And while it’s tempting to throw my opinion into the mix…well, I just did that. What I had to say about Google+ and social search applies in much of the same way as Google combining my data from Docs and Picasa.

So the reason I don’t have time for much of a blog post is simply that I’m busy deleting anything I can find that I ever posted to any Google-owned site. Over the last six years we’ve developed an extensive partnership. But that ends today.

Goodbye Google. Good luck with that whole don’t be evil thing.
