i like ixquick. its a full featured search engine that does NOT track your searches or record your ip, or do any of the other less than legit shit that google does.

check out what google analytics does http://www.ghostery.com/apps/google_analytics .
both the collarme.com and collarchat.com use google analytics.

If you use Adblock++ (which, if you don't, you should) you can go into the menu for it by hitting ctrl+shift+v and then select google analytics from the list and block it such that it won't run. Problem solved.

Why would Google, with a death grip on market share and one of the best run companies ever, want to buy a piece of moldy history in Yahoo?
