I meant that google is all up in my personal business, since I have an android phone and I know they're getting everything they can on me from that. So I try to use options like Bing on my pcs at home and work.

Some of my new teammates at work likes to call on the phone rather than email. I totally prefer email. I think I was actually left out of a meeting recently because they called my work phone when I had stepped away from my desk.

I will add another good thing about texting, Crankin. It is great for keeping in touch with relatives and friends who live thousands of miles apart. Last fall I watched the major league baseball playoffs and world series with siblings and nephews even though we were in four different cities at the time. By the time it was over we had racked up more than 500 group texts. It's also currently the only way I can communicate with a relative who is dealing with a controlling spouse.
