Brin doesn't come off well. He criticises a well received and thought provoking article calling it too long. How the hell would the guy squeeze what he wrote into one paragraph?
- colin_jack 15y agoHe could have made it shorter but I agree. Maybe someone should write an executive summary of it and send it to Brin, because there is no doubt Google (and many other companies) should be paying attention to the key points that are made.
- mkr-hn 15y ago"We need to start building Google into a platform. This piecemeal approach is not going to work in the long run." And then a short anecdote about his experience at Amazon and a short explanation of how it guides his views. Maybe not one paragraph, but not more than three or four.
- bad_user 15y agoShort pieces of 3-4 paragraphs are useless, unless the guy writing it holds enough power within a company. People should also start taking medication for their ADHD symptoms, if nothing else works ;) This piecemeal approach is not going to work in the long run Yeah, whatever, have you filled your time-sheets yet?
- statictype 15y agoHe could have done it by cutting off all the material at the beginning about Amazon and Jeff Bezos. It was interesting but not relevant to his point. He certainly could have cut down the article to a more manageable length - he just chose not to because it's not his style.
