> Why shouldn't they, why is that your point? If an uncharitable read of your comment is that you are mocking people and trying to gain hipster points by knowing about it before it was popular, then maybe a charitable read is that "we are too quick" is a warning of some hazard or danger that happens if we ooh and aahh about things too quickly which (in some way) objectively haven't earned it, by not being first, and that being first is in some way a majorly important criterion. If so, what is it that you are warning about?
Again, you are completely misinterpreting my comment. Google is a trillion dollar company. It's not impressive that they recreated something a startup was doing 12 years ago.
> What exactly is your problem with people being excited or impressed by something that was done before, which makes it worth a comment?
For the third time, I'm not saying people shouldn't think the feature is cool. They should just IMHO not be heaping praise on Google for it since it's old tech, and perhaps the scrappy startup that did it first a long time ago deserves more of the credit.
