Is someone Peeping into our Privacy????

   Well when i say now a days our data are with the huge companies of IT industries like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc..... can you deny it? well its a fact that our privacy is at risk... well we can say we trust them.. but why should we trust a third party who does not even follow their privacy policy...

   Lets get to business here... I've found some Collection of software`s website`s etc which are mostly open source and are alternative to the ones we use on a daily basis.. Some are alternative to the google products which you use on a daily basis... some are alternative for the costly ones.... I'll give description of only some items here.... which i like and prefer..... and i will try to explain why i prefer them...

Lets start with:
  1. Search Engine (Google.com) : DuckDuckGo
    why would i want something for Google.com... its perfect rite... is this what u are thinking now... well i don`t like anyone tracking me, that too without even informing me... want to know more? see these links Donttrack.us, Fixtracking.com, Whatisdnt.com.
    I have another alternative for this YACY, its completely new idea.. u should definitely visit it.
  2. Browser (Chrome) : Firefox / Tor Browser
    Firefox has stood their name for its stability and Privacy Policy.. and of course the add-on collection they have...
    Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet
  3. Email (Gmail, Live etc) : RoundCube
  4. Map (Google Maps) : OpenStreetMap
    why Open Map? check this out : Link
  5. News Reader (Google Reader) : NewsBlur
    This is one of the thing where google shows their true nature... they can shutdown any of their service whenever they want... if they felt its not meeting their financial need they will shut it DOWN... c 4 urslf
