The Best Replacements for Privacy-Invading Services : by Thorin Klosowski, on lifehacker.com : http://lifehacker.com/5965462/the-best-replacements-for-privacy+invading-services

Piecemeal Service or Glassboard Instead of Facebook ..

DuckDuckGo Instead of Google Search ..

Lavabit Instead of Gmail ..

App.net Instead of Twitter ..

SpiderOak Instead of Dropbox ..

TuneIn Radio Instead of Pandora : http://tunein.com/#

Jitsi Instead of Skype ..

.. and other replacements too ..
 
I doubt most users would use the alternatives listed there apart from perhaps DDG.

Not using Gmail, next 2 most well known are Hotmail/Live/Outlook and Yahoo.

Twitter and Facebook: Let's look at Hi5, Friendster and other social sites and see where they are now...

Online radio, well there is always shoutcasts etc which are more popular than TuneIn Radio.

Jitsi instead of Skype: Highly doubt it will be come popular enough to make a difference.
