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 

I have been thinking, I will stop using all US brand of electronic, service and pc. Such as Apple, Cisco, Facebook, Microsoft, and so on.

And start using more Chinese brands such as Lenovo, Huawei, Asus, Acer, and other Japanese and Korean brands.

I will also use more open source softwares, and tor. Also stop using Google and Gmail. And start using more startpage.com and other email providers which are not in the US.

Any other ideas?
