They should have left this kind of thing to iGoogle I think. Even if people like it, it's going to subtly dilute their image of Google being The Dead Simple choice.
- w1ntermute 16y agoHow so? It's an optional feature. It's not enabled by default, so only those who want this feature will be using it.
- staunch 16y agoAssume for the sake of argument that you agree it is a harmful feature for Google's image in the long term. In that case does making it an optional feature make any difference, beyond minimizing the damage?
- lallysingh 16y agoYup -- if it wasn't optional, it'd expose their choice to many more users.
- w1ntermute 16y agoMaking it optional isn't "minimizing the damage", it's making a feature available to people who see it as a _positive thing_. This will improve Google's image in the eyes of its users, not harm it.
