>>Anyone still using Google services since the NSA revelations is an idiot

Care to name a good alternative then? And a good way to notify hundreds of people and companies to change my address to a new one,and convince dozens of friends to stop using hangouts and use X instead?

Gmail: Self-hosted qmail or exim

Google Maps: OpenStreetMap

Hangouts: Jitsi

Android: Firefox OS

Search: Startpage

Chrome: Firefox

Google Drive: ownCloud

Suggesting people use a self-hosted email server in place of gmail is trolling on the level of "Install Gentoo".

Sorry, I thought this was _hacker_ news. Setting up self-hosted email is utterly trivial.

You said "Anyone still using Google services". I took that to mean that anyone should self-host email.
