Why you hate Google Buzz
You don’t hate buzz because you’re wary about privacy issues. You don’t hate buzz because it does something a product you already use does. You hate buzz because Google stopped trying to make you happy.
Google’s best three products are search, maps and mail. In every case they took an existing service and made it not suck. The emphasis was on making a better experience for the user. And so they were rewarded them with web dominance and billions of dollars.
Now every new Google product launch and acquisition (congrats aardvark) is about extending their reach in search. Google has lost their touch at delighting the average consumer and is paying the price.
Does Apple want to dominate your technology usage any less? Not really, but the critics are drowned out by those heaping praise upon the latest slick product that makes even tech cynics smile. Pay attention, Google.
