Actually, I think outside of tech tech world Google might have a worse image then Microsoft does.
The controversy about Microsoft is long forgotten by most people. Google on the other hand can come over as quite creepy to non-techies: They offer something for free, which is always creepy, they harvest all this information about you and they come of as quite emotionless.
I think Google might have a little bit of the same problem with the general public, as Dropbox does now in the tech-world. Even though Google is working on it, with their recent ad campaigns.
- Kylekramer 15y agoYou really think people outside of the tech world are think offering something for free is creepy (they seem 100% fine with major TV networks)/know Google is harvesting info/even think of websites as being emotional? All three of those seem to be exclusively tech nerd complaints.
