i know why google will ultimately fail.
i like google’s products. the search, the apps (the mail, most importantly). they’re smart and absolutely a charm to use. built by smart people.who might think they’re gods, but well, they build great products.
but one advice, google: stop hiring assholes and dickheads who sell your crap to people paying you already half of all their digital advertising spend. its not good business practice to make people feel like they have to be grateful for you to take their money. keep doing this for a while, piss off just the right amount of people, start a bad pr avalanche and yahoo’s as well as microsoft’s problems with their search engines and ad platforms will change. you’re acting like a monopoly already. look at what firefox did to the internet explorer.
i’d suggest you add some humble pie to the free sushi.
