Google Confuses Forests and Trees According to an Informed Authority
December 29, 2017
I read an article which would have been unthinkable in 2004 when Google was the Hollywood of online companies. The write up appeared in Gizmodo and has a title guaranteed to annoy those in senior management who actually care about the company’s reputation; to wit:
Google’s Whole Hardware Thing Is Confusing the Hell Out of Me.
The link to the original is here.
The main point of the write up strikes me as:
In its second year thoroughly devoted to the hardware game, Google managed to create ear buds so bad that storing them in their charging case requires a video explanation, and a laptop so fantastic I spend a lot of time on forums plotting ways to load a more useful operating system onto it. In the wide chasm between these two gadgets lies everything else Google announced this year, and together, the hardware paints a confusing picture. Google what the hell are you doing?
My answer to the question is, “Google is looking for sustainable revenues in a way that pumps up or at least props up its online advertising schticht.
The Google can get its act together. But in the present economic climate the Google is not kicking Excite and Lycos or even Yahoo to the curb.
The online search giant has to find relevant results for Amazon, Facebook, and, yes, even Microsoft.
No wonder senior management is either changing roles, flying to hearings in Europe, working to be semi pals with China, or trying to solve death. Even the Loon balloon came back to earth as Google used lesser technology to help out Puerto Rico.
Gizmodo, it seems, is catching on to the whole Googzilla thing. Remember that the dinosaurs died.
Could it be happening again? Instead of a meteor, it may be write ups which document the weakness of the feathered predators. But not here in Harrod’s Creek. We love, absolutely love, the Google.
