Moving Away From Google

As someone who vehemently hates G+, if you have GAFYD setup you can rid yourself of the scourge in the domain control panel by disabling the service.

I'm not of the "move everything from Google services" crowd (yet?), though their insistence of shoving G+ down my throat at every turn is pushing me closer to that every day.

Google provides services in exchange for personal information. I see this as a fair trade considering the great quality of their services and the value of my input to their systems.

I would struggle to replace their services with products from other vendors.
