To me, it would look cheap. I would not use it as part of my offering, because a) it relies on Google's servers which have no guarantee of uptime and b) decent charting packages are already available for a reasonable price.
On the other hand, I doubt that most users would care as long as it works.
- gnaritas 19y agoGoogle's servers are far more likely to be up than yours, that's just not a valid reason. Those charts are nice, there's nothing cheap looking about them, the real issue is load, will your load exceed what Google allows per day, if so, do your own charts, if not, nothing wrong with using Google.
- noelchurchill 19y agoI will second this.
- misterbwong 19y agoYou're right. I should rephrase. I meant uptime more in the control sense of the word. If Goog were to decide to stop allowing this API to run or in some way change their terms of use, there would be a problem. I guess it's the control freak in me.
- wehriam 19y agoWell, then you'd have to do something else.
