“The Internet dies without Google.”

Uh, nope. The Internet *dies* because people are scared they might learn something they didn’t want to know about Gays, or see something “icky”.

The Internet *dies* because it’s allowed people re-create the vibrant “public domain” and shared cultural-space that should have been there in the first place, but our Corporate overlords don’t want us to have.

The Internet *dies* ultimately because we’re too apathetic to fight all attempts to “regulate” it (up to, and including, hamfisted efforts at “Net Neutrality” which will just backfire anyway.)

But yeah, Google-analytics sucks.

I block google-analytics.com in my firewall. Doesn’t everyone?
