  1. Googlemail by savagedome · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Google kicks everybody else's a$$ at one thing: Search results. Now when everyone else is getting more serious about search, (Yahoo buying Overture, Microsoft announcing Search R&D), Google announces Google mail. I am not sure if this is the way to go.

    Lately, (and I'm sure lot of you have noticed) Google's search results have been a little more oriented towards commercial sites. Not good. They should apply the KISS principle.

    I love Google (like billion other people) and it will be sad if going public and eventually catering to stockholders starts a downward spiral.

    Just cause Google is currently the leader doesnt mean Yahoo doesnt deserve the chance to take the crown!

    Would you prefer technology stagnate?

    Good luck to the teams at both google and yahoo!

    I dont believe in brand loyalty. Cause no company has believed in customer loyalty.
