Google..GONE BAD
by haroldtu January 1, 2007 7:16 AM PST
I remember bulletin boards...BAD...then the internet...good....then netscape..aaahh..better...then zdnet..really better...then google xcellent..then newer google..not good...then super google...bad....
Point is that the internet is now a garbage network...just a fancy shopping channel....Zdnet and Cnet both went this way...once the money guys take over they trash the content and clutter up with shopping channel content. That's too bad..and really frustrating if you're actually searching for something YOU CAN'T BUY..CONTENT

What was wrong woth BBS's?

They were the first source of group info and showed many people how useful a modem could be. I guess your too young to remember Boardwatch Magazine.
Giant Gone Black

Ohh...how the mighty yield strength, yet plummit to the depths of the earth...
being only a vague memory...

1)The Roman Empire was the biggest and strongest ever to
exist on the face of the earth...and look at it now...nothing!

2)The record disc used to be the most popular and most widely used
(now it is...but only on turn-tables)

3)Remember Pluto, it used to be the most popular planet...look at it now...nothing!

They're all vague memories of the past, never to be
visited again except by those who live in the past...

Then there's Google...Webmaster-Giant...most popular...most used...
soon to be, biggest collapse in web history...well at least thats my opinion...
why you ask...let me explain:

When you create something soo great, people admire it, use it, try to copy it,
and eventually succeed at making a better product or service...

1)Look at Ford, awesome car...fallen to Toyota...

2)Atari, awesome gaming system...fallen to Sega(remember that)and Nintendo
(Xbox and Playstation weren't around)

3)And now look at Mozilla Firefox...slowly taking IE's place

The fact is...over time people become jealous of someones success
and try to steal some attention (and money for that matter)to profit and be reconized...usually they succeed
to the #1 spot(like Toyota), sometimes they don't(like eBay)...but it works itself out in due time.

Do I think Google will ever go under completely...well no, but they wont be #1...
people are trying to take away business...and with recent flaws in their systems and tougher,
more competitive opponents...I for-see a future downgrade(not downfall)

...but I'm no fortune teller.

Google is the best
by leedownen12 January 3, 2007 2:30 PM PST
Just like Windows XP, Google of course has more people complain because it's the most used. Google rocks, and if you don't like it, go with another search engine.

Google is BEST?
by Jim Dodds January 6, 2007 11:09 AM PST
HEY! Google is not best! I hardly ever use Google, and when I do I usually end up going somewhere else. I find Dogpile to be much more useful than Google, and ASK.com is second most helpful, for me.

Google is still good regardless of what they say..
by EngDrewman January 4, 2007 10:33 AM PST
Regardless of what other people say I am still very impressed by google's stuff. Gmail is the best email service I have tried, and, as we all know, their search engine is the best one out there.

My one and only complaint about google is the size of their applications. With the exception of maybe google talk, you can expect that any program you get from google will take up at least a gigabyte. (of course the actual program is small, but they just build such HUGE indexes and databases on your hard drive)
