Another Google Black Eye
March 10, 2010
“Google’s Online Only Phone Selling Model Has Failed” makes it clear that the math club is not particularly good in the sales and marketing game. In the last few months, I have noted that some folks are taking a more critical look at the search company everyone loves to use. Here’s a representative passage from this right jab to Googzilla’s head:
Well, it’s been a while now since Google launched the Nexus One — and so far, it hasn’t lived up to their expectations. I guess it’s not as bad as the Google Buzz roll-out, but Google’s attempt at fundamentally changing the way we buy cell phones has yet to bear much fruit.
Interesting. But Google has a policy of not paying for ads itself nor hiring consultants. I wonder if ZDNet’s editors will become more frisky as 2010 unfolds? Not much risk I suppose.

No one paid me to write this item. I will report non payment to the US Postal Service which may deliver some of the Google phones.
