google me this ...

It was very subtle in my life. It started with an occassional comment from a friend or colleague about "googling this" or "googling that". I didn't know it, but after a time or two I was convinced that I had known what "googling" was since birth.

Then came the very first google conversation -- I use YAHOO I replied and that pretty much ended that. It wasn't long after that my brother insisted I check out his "world of google" as I liked to refer it. I half-heartedly complied and saw the calendar, the blog, the this, the that, a seemingly endless googlesphere of stuff. This google thing seemed to have infiltrated my brother's soul and taken over. Why in the world would I want a bunch of people seeing my calendar - I thought to myself. I'll stick with YAHOO.

You know where it goes from here. Innocently - a blog. Well that was easy, I wonder about that calendar application (just for personal use of course). Analytics, another calendar, a few gmail addresses for some clients, a couple more calendars all complexly linking different parts of my life with rainbow colors, a foray into sites, some more calendars, additional gmail accounts, this password, that password another calendar for good measure -- and I am officially googlified. I mean really - YAHOO, who uses YAHOO anymore.

When do you think there going to start charging for this stuff? I can't envision my life without google so whenever they do I guess I'll be in line check in hand. YAHOO who!?!
