Is it possible to quit Google?

Google's reach spreads far across the web. But is it possible to go online without being noticed by the search giant? Three computer professionals try to part ways with Google.

Tom Henderson spends what he describes as "way too much" time online.

The managing director for Extreme Labs, a technology company in Bloomington, Indiana, Henderson says he's often up late in the evening doing work for clients - and having fun exploring the far reaches of the internet.

But when Google announced earlier this year that it would be streamlining the privacy agreements for all of its products - including YouTube, Blogger and Gmail - Henderson decided to find a way to stay online without patronising Google.

Google is incredibly useful, I do not know why someone would try to avoid it.

Because Google seems to have no respect for people's privacy, I have tried to move away from them more. I now use Bing search which is pretty decent, but I don't see a suitable replacement for youtube, so I will keep using it for now.

Is there a way to post videos here from Bing?

This is why I am always careful of what I type in google search. Also, I do have a facebook account, but there are no pictures. I only use it for news and keeping in touch with friends across the pond, and I never make useless posts or chat.
