Ok, so perhaps I went a little overboard with my previous post about Google and yadayada… Ok. I apologize. I was a little frustrated. The truth is that Google is indeed a great company. They have lots of great projects and ideas that they offer sometimes even for free. Of course they are a business and they have to make a profit.
Now, I should say that I generalized against the entire thing just because search quality was being unresponsive. If you think about it for a second, Google is inevitably a good company and solution to many problems. For example, I have seen how you can benefit greatly from the information provided by Google Analytics. And I love it. I used to love Urchin in the first place.
How about Google Docs? I currently have a couple of online forms that I keep bookmarked on my iphone. Therefore anytime I am on the go, I can still track some important events that I need. So many people love their Gmail accounts and their personalized search.
Anyways, I just think that Google brings good to the web and that their applications are great. Now, if we are talking about the quality of search, of course they have problems like every other search engine. All search engines have to deal with tons of information and trying to deal with it is just absurd. I think we complain so much to Google because they hold themselves to such a great standard that anything less than that is just weird.
Next time you think about Google think something good.
