Yes - I've been doing the same. But tor is a pain in the backside when you have to manually enter every bloody password for every site (or am I missing something ?) - also, I can't play Youtube videos over it (any (safe) solution to that ?)

    Re. email. I want to ditch gmail also - went through using Tormail, then it disappeared. What email provider are those in the know using for security/anonymity and reliability ?
    When Twister becomes available (at least for idiots like me) I can see me using that. I would use Bitmessage but I don't know anyone else that has a Bitmessage address
