"Not trusting Google" seems to be a theme on the internet lately.
Presumably Google, being no fools, will pick up on that and understand that it's a problem, both for advertisers and developers.
It's just a question of how long it takes them.
It's entirely possible that many of these situations with Google looking bad are primarily a result of them just not communicating. But presumably Google could figure that out, too. They're the only ones with the information to do so.
- ytNumbers 17y agoIt seems that several different people at Google did plenty of communicating with Ron. What we have here is (NOT) a failure to communicate!
- dandelany 17y agoWhile several e-mails were sent back and forth, I have a hard time calling the conversation effective communication on Google's part. Saying one thing and doing another is not communication.
- lamnk 17y agoHave you read the post ? That is a lot of email back and fort. The author even had a meeting with a Google director and spoke with a manager.
- dandelany 17y agoYes. From the end of the post: "I contacted Hunter. I contacted Kuan. I contacted Stephanie. I even sent an e-mail to legal@google.com "Stephanie "can't remember exactly" what the reason for the delay was. Her "memory is hazy". These are direct quotes in case you wondered. Kuan won't answer a simple question regarding his own I/O presentation. I guess he doesn't want to lie. If replying, Hunter emits random legal verbiage. The person who actually made the decisions is courageously hiding behind them." This is not effective communication.
