Why I've gone Google..., again!

I say again because I tried to switch to Apple, free & open source, then Microsoft, and now I've come back to Google. It has everything I need and want.

Google has the largest and most comprehensive ecosystem of all software/hardware businesses. Being a part of a solid ecosystem ensures better compatibility and intergration between apps. Not to mention a linear payment & purchase history. While Google isn't perfect, it provides the best overall value and convenience.
Just as a recap, here is a list of Google products & services that you can manage with a single Google account(I have/use almost all of these):

• Google Blogger(Blogspot): used to build a FREE fully fledged customization blog or dynamic website.
• Google Email(Gmail): considered by many to be the best email service around and it's FREE.
• Google Calendar: used for managing schedules and important dates, such as: holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. Most importantly you can share your calendar and it's FREE.

When you look at what everything Google has to offer, mostly free, and some services are insanely cheap, I find it hard as a small business owner not to go Google. They just deliver to me all the right tools for my personal life and business. If you want to know more about Google as a company, then read this Wikipedia Page.

With all these assets, you can really streamline your workflow and app management. This adds to your bottom-line by paying less out of pocket. Not to mention Google's rock solid servers and awesome spam protection. I'm not just listing Google services here, I actually use them.

Am I a Google Fanboy? I dunno. Maybe I am. Although, what I do know for sure is that Google has made my life a whole lot easier. 

FYI: Google did not pay me to write this article, nor did I receive any compensation from Google for it.
