    Does anyone not use Google (for example) because of their privacy policy, or their use of beacons?

    Yes. I don't avoid google entirely; their search engine is too useful, but I block their scripts, and don't use a single one of their services.

    Ok ok... I do have a gmail account (along with other webmail accounts) that I use from time to time to confirm that an html newsletter I send (yes, to double-opt-in-subscribers) renders correctly, but that's it.
