What started as a nice thought that could have been transformed or applied by the author into something useful (In the sense that it could have helped someone to create something great) launched into another "I hate Google and you should too" ad by some Microsoft employee.
I wonder what kind of developers are they targeting? (as this blog is obviously targeting developers)
Do you have to properly hate something to be a good fit for Microsoft? Seems so, especially when you look at other campaigns (Gmail man reading your email etc.)
And then theres the grave accusation of Google distorting the search results, again with no evidence whatsoever.
This "former professor and startup founder" couldn't even come up with 5 or 10 test queries to prove his point.
But still this ad was well written, it tricked my built in spam filter and so i read it from start to end. Well done.
