I think Google is really a remarkable company that revolutionized the way I personally percieve the whole world. It opened so many business opportunities that becomming a web programmer became ridicously easy. But there are some pitfalls that in my opinion totally break the whole conpet of making money as a result of valuable knowledge.
That’s why I’ve prepared some of my personal reasons why I hate them and why I really love them.
Here is one for you:
10 reasons why I hate Google
- Becomming a web programmer is too easy, thus competiton really gets to you
- Privacy is really a big issue
- Code licensing has become irrelevant
- Advertising model is the only one possible
- Making money thorugh selling intelectual property (code, design etc.), yeah ‘right:)
- Search made us look stupid (“stear wors” – “Did you mean: star wars”)
- Microsoft is an evil company
- Linux is great
- It’s everywhere
- It’s all about Google Ads
10 reasons why I love Google
- I don’t imagine web without Gmail
- What search would look like with no Google being around
- Without it Internet would be 3.1/2 years behind (my estimates:)
- Without it we would pay a hefty price to get a decent website
- Without it searching for info would look like searching files in Windows XP
- Without it Microsoft would be programmers dream
- Copy-pasting their code makes me feel I’ve done something big
- They really listen
- They took a care for customers on a whole another level
- It makes me feel I can really do big things with litlle effort
Have to say that there are probably zillions reasons why I hate/love Google but gues people really digg this kind of stuff (10 things, 9 reasons…, 7 questions…) – so hope you like it;)
