On The Value of Personal Information
Also worth considering: We charge $99 per year for a MobileMe subscription. Google gives you the same stuff and all they ask for is, um, permission to totally invade your privacy and to “monetize” (God I hate that word) your personal information. You think your personal information is worth less than $99 a year? Then you’re getting a hell of a deal with Google. The rest of us would rather spent $99 and keep the contents of our email to ourselves.
All my credit card statements, software licenses information, electronic receipt, password reminder, everything, goes into Gmail.
Maybe it's a good idea to ditch gmail altogether, for a system with better privacy. But not MobileMe, I've read some bad experiences with that. And of course not the rumored facebook mail. Maybe I could roll my own email server somewhere?
