Right, so Google’s Evil. That’s all well and good. “But,” I can already hear you saying, “the offer sooo many useful services!” Well, that’s certainly true. They do have an impressive repertoire of programs and tools. However, there are other options. There’s not one tool that Google offers that is exclusive to Google. As Randall McCarley of 14thc.com said, “everything Google does has been copied by 40+ other companies.” Well, I don’t know about 40, but McCarley certainly put together a pretty impressive list and has been gracious enough to allow Gevil.org to use it!
