Fireball Burns Google

August 24, 2010

I enjoyed “Creep Executive Officer.” The Daring Fireball burned Google in this write up. The addled goose read the interview and decided not to put a webbed foot on this hot potato. Fireball identifies some useful quotes, including the passages about predicting what a user really wants and the notion of changing one’s name to avoid an online past under one’s “real” name.

My thoughts from the goose pond:

  • Is it my imagination or does Google seem a bit idiosyncratic or prickly even for Math Club members in the last couple of months?
  • Is the DNA of Sun Microsystems undergoing some protein deterioration?
  • Will pundit-journalists tire of pointing out Googzilla’s missed tackles as it huffs and puffs on the sidelines of the search revolution?

Certainly not this goose.

He likes math, was a member of the goose Math Club, and remains permanently on the sidelines, nestling against a wooden bench whilst watching the “real” players take the field. He’s not even social, indifferent to Facebook and, like Google, content to let others push the social ball forward.
