My view on this is pretty simple: Larry should keep doing what he's doing and let the haters keep on hating.
Before G+, people made fun of Google for not doing social and now that they have a good product, they are made fun of because they didn't kill facebook 6 months. People moaned and complained how no two Google products were alike or connected, and now that they complain that they work well together. And of course, Android's been hated forever, even as it takes over the market and iOS starts lifting its major features from Android.
So, Larry's focus and determination will probably result in a very productive reign, despite all the hate from the Valley folk and HNers
- gms 15y agoThey don't have a good product (yet?). No one uses Google+ besides nerds and people who work at Google. It makes it all the more irritating that they are forcing a non-compelling product down the throats of everyone. The only happiness generated from this is in their own egos.
- duaneb 15y agoWhile I agree that few people use Google+ - certainly nobody I know - I think it's a much better site than facebook is.
- gms 15y agoFine, but your opinion is in the extreme minority. The majority of people not only don't think it's better than Facebook - they simply don't care.
- omonra 15y agoHow are they forcing anything?
- gms 15y agoLook at how Google+ is making a showing on every Google property (including search).

- spwmoni 15y agoWho made fun of Google for not doing social? I do recall them being made fun of for not doing social well - Buzz and Wave come to mind.
- barredo 15y ago> Before G+, people made fun of Google for not doing social Google did 'social' before Google+, it was called Buzz (leaving Orkut, my dear Google Reader and Google Wave alone). And people "made fun", if we want to call it that way, because of Google Buzz's lack of buzz. > despite all the hate from the Valley folk and HNers I don't think that's true.
- a15i 15y ago> Before G+, people made fun of Google for not doing social g+ didn't stop that. reddit people still post about how g+ looks like a ghost town.
