For those who share, but do not want to take the risk, I simply believe in
not giving one company the complete power over your whole e-life, one or two
parts is more than enough....

As for the not convinced part, for those who plan on being businessmen or
celebrities or scientists or government officials or anyone in a high
position that has something to lose, I suggest not simply taking the risk of
having all your e-life on google, it is very attractive and perhaps a better
service than many other websites, it might even be more trusted, but having
your whole e-life on it is not a good idea for obvious reasons...
