I really love Google, but this made me second guess the site. What would their motive be in saving all our information? Hmm, can you say Big Brother? Creepy!

Wow. Someone’s a little paranoid. Readers, take note: this is how to write when you have questions but don’t bother to find answers.

Hey pal, nice article you have here
I'm a heavy gmail user actually. Mainly because it's integrated with a lot of other services. So.. ya I'm sorta stuck to it.

I think many of these items need their source stated, it's important to be transparent where you obtain your information from (and that source needs to be authoritative and unbiased). Many of the points seem to be emotive rather than factual. The last point for example, are you accusing Google of fraud in their accounting practises, that is what the comment implies? And did you research whether Google can explain their business in one sentence. A quick search of their company overview gives: "Google's mission is to organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." That sounds like a one sentence summary of the company. About 22 of your points can be picked apart like this, I suspect that this is a personal PR stunt rather than a serious positing.

Great post, a lot of good ideas here. I wanted to also suggest you check out Adroll as an alternative to Adsense. Full disclosure: I work for them, but regardless I think it's a great option for small to medium sized niche publishers looking for a premium advertising option to augment their Adsense earnings. We offer an extremely high level of transparency with minimal requirements from our publisher base. I hope you'll check us out, and let me know if you have any questions about the product.
