Has Google Lost Its Mojo?
CWmike writes "Google looks as if it's on top of the world right now, holding an ever-increasing lion's share of the search market. So why do I think it's lost its mojo? Let's start with the way it treats its employees, writes Preston Gralla. Another example: Google employees, such as Sergey Solyanik, have started deserting the company. And its share price is down double that of the Dow or Nasdaq since November 2007. Even if Google has lost its mojo, why should you care? It won't make your searches any less effective, will it? Nope. But Google has its eyes on bigger things than search, notably your IT department. It's looking to displace Microsoft with hosted services like Google Apps, Gmail and Google Docs. Solyanik warns that Google's engineers care more about the 'coolness' of a service than about the service's effectiveness." Of course Google employees version of being mistreated is often laughable, and quite a shock when they look for their massage therapist at wherever they end up next.
And that's why we kicked your ass about 232 years ago.
Google will really be doing well if they can compete with Exchange/Outlook. Right now, that's the big thing that MS has over them that they can't touch. Hell, NOBODY can compete with it right now.
I don't respond to AC's.
Google has definitely lost it's Mojo, search algorithms has failed, what goes on these days is "hand rank" instead of page rank.
Google can be easily beaten if we take away the money printing press from the J**s.
American civilization failed when 2% j**s took control the printing of money through federal reserve. If you observe closely only j**ish web 2.0 companies are succeeding or they buy out other successful web 2.0 companies. It is very easy to succeed or buy out companies if they have access to unlimited funds through simply printing currency.
If you put your kids in daycare you deserve to have them grow up hating you.
