Glass is piquing more interest than any consumer electronics device since the iPhone, Plus is thriving, and Docs is by far the best cloud office suite I've seen. I am by no means saying that Google is the best in every market they enter--some of their offerings are pathetic compared to the competition-- but your claims of across the board mediocrity in their non-search products is severely overblown.
- zone411 13y agoGoogle+ doesn't appear to "thriving" to me. Here is one indicator: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=google%20%2B%2C%20google%20plus&date=today%2012-m&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=google%20%2B%2C%20goo... (flat line). For comparison, add "imgur" or "hotmail" to the input. Here is another where it looks a bit better: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/plus.google.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/plus.google.com/. However, considering the amount of integration with their other products, I can't see it as anything more than a disappointment for Google.
- CatMtKing 13y agoThat's looking at search queries though, right? Why would any one Google for g+, when there's a link to it on the top left corner of Google's search page?
- rubinelli 13y agoThe concept behind Glass is fantastic. For all the talk of "cyborgs" and "glassholes", it's clear that it struck a nerve. What we don't have enough information to say yet is if Glass is the new iPad or the new Newton.
