Well,
1. They shut down their acquired companies and their products on many occasions that many people are dependent upon
2. They shut down a handful of Google tools many people are dependent upon
3. They even close people's Google accounts.
Use their service, yes, but trust them after all of this dents they made? maybe.
The weight of their actions is so great, I can't even begin to talk about matters in relation to trust on their side. It's just _hard_.
I'm glad Facebook acquired Parse.
- mcintyre1994 14y agoOh, this. Shutting down services is different to restricting services to your own platform. Perhaps you have a point, perhaps Google would hypothetically have decided to shut down Parse had they acquired it, but it's not fair to suggest they'd have limited it to Android.
- anoncow 14y agoDoesn't make business sense to ignore the scores using iOS.
- lmm 14y agoIf it drives users away from iOS then it does. Apple is the biggest threat to google.
- mcintyre1994 14y agoI disagree. Google is probably the biggest threat to Apple, and Apple is probably the biggest threat to Android, but not to Google. Apple has essentially no web presence, companies that do are a much bigger existential threat to Google.
