Well that was easy (make sure you send me mail at sam@samharrelson.com if you were still using the sharrelson@GMail.com address, btw)…

And then…

Why?

Google is still an amazing company, but I don’t like their current direction especially in their sleazy deal with Verizon over mobile net neutrality.

Plus, I don’t want my daughters or students to have an internet where access to apps or data is predicated upon them handing over their privacy and becoming products themselves (also why I killed my Facebook page).

So, farewell sharrelson@gmail.com. You’ve been a good friend since Google launched GMail in April ’04 but it’s time to move on to a “freer” web.

(Again, make sure you’re emailing me at sam@samharrelson.com).
