One month update on eliminating Google from my life

It's been a month. I'm sold on Duck Duck Go a a viable replacement for Google search. I'm still using Horde on my server as my primary email interface, but I'm not quite sold. There are just a few too many quirks. Overall, it works, but after a month I still find myself thinking about other options. I think that is a hint. Right now, I'm debating between Thunderbird and maybe trying Yahoo Mail. The new Yahoo Mail seems quite nice. I'm still using Reader too. I'm not sure there is decent replacement for it. Google Maps I just can't give up. It simply is far superior to any other option.
