this is either the smartest thing Google has ever done, or the dumbest.
I've said that to myself many times. I've never had it (whatever "it" is) be the smartest thing I've ever done. To be fair, it is rarely the dumbest, either, though it tends to favor that.
If you find yourself thinking a choice will be this polar in outcome, you are probably making the wrong decision.
For the record, I don't think MG is right about this being the (binary) smartest or dumbest decision for Google.
- technoslut 15y agoGoogle is a company that has done very few foolish things so it could easily be the dumbest if it doesn't work out.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoIs MG ever insightful about anything? I'm not a regular reader, but every time I do read his articles, I feel the deja-vu of reading game console fanboy forum 'debates' from the early 2000s. That line about smartest or dumbest is silly, not the least b/c it could be both at different times (maybe a terrible idea now, but turns out to be a brilliant one five years from now, or vice versa). How'd he get that job with Techcrunch again?
