Lots of negative posts about Apple, especially from my Droid friends.
Does charging high prices make Apple evil? No, just expensive.
Ran into a road block when I switched to a Droid to post by phone to Twitter and Facebook. Found out Droid threads multiple phone #s together, which Facebook and Twitter block. I switched to the old style SMS messaging available on the Droid, went right through.
So why Google for me? I could have spent the money on Apple, though it would cut severely into my chocolate budget, a high priority for me.
Google did several things that other posting sites didn't.
One, they offered to monetize my blogs. Facebook makes money off of me. Apple would have made a lot of money off of me. Google offered to share.
Google rather than Facebook offered to let me choose the type size of my posts. In fact, Google offers an incredible amount of variety.
Google rather than Microsoft or Apple offered better security. Mary account has been hacked on her iPhone. My former Microsoft Live email was hacked.
Google offered secure storage of my photos and documents. I have lost a lot of documents because Microsoft upgraded to newer versions. I was chomping at the bit when the Google cloud opened up. I pay an outrageous amount- $5 per year. I'm using about 2% of what I've rented.
Google also has me hooked on Google search, Google images, Google news, and I'm starting to get into Google+ for posting and feedback, geek words for a social site.
Google makes it easy for me to keep posting to my other sites, Facebook and Twitter, with their tabbed browsing on their Chrome Browser. I like the Chrome browser so much, I got a Chromebook.
Am I a rabid, drooling Google fan? Not really. Google seems to have what I need, and they do it without breaking a sweat.
