A couple of simple rules to follow for bloat removal...
1. First app to install AFTER rooting is Titanium Backup + root. Backup the apps individually. You can always reinstall them again.
2. NEVER uninstall anything that doesn't have a Google Play icon, especially if you are a "noob" to rooted phones. That way if you want to reinstall anything, Google Play's repository is there to help.
3. Don't uninstall your stock launcher, keyboard, etc, without having a "replacement" app installed first!
4. ALWAYS MAKE A COMPLETE NANDROID BACKUP RIGHT AFTER ROOTING!! You'll be thankful just in case you screw up!!
I have a whole bunch of great devs to thank for this wisdom! Just passing it on!
