I fell in love with Google when I used their first Gmail beta version (Google search was the beginning of the affair). It was a fresh new outlook (pun?) to how email should be. And Google wave was a jaw dropper for me. It did not succeed but the tech was solid for its time. Eric Schmidt did an absolutely wonderful job. Then came Chrome and Android and YouTube. Their knack of creating/acquiring the best products and making them world class peaked in 2013 I feel. When Larry took over, I was overjoyed since he is the quintessential nerd. But alas it was Elon Musk and not Larry Page. The Google Glass demo was stellar too but again failed to commercialize. Their early thoughts on high altitude internet balloons and self driving cards enthralled the crap out of me. I always wanted to work with Google.
I hope it returns to "Don't be Evil" mantra and create/acquire some world class products again.
