well that will change as soon as they do something that makes people think twice. So far all of their products have been as advertised; compact, useful, works well. Their image is obviously extremeley high right now, but it's not like we're trusting them with our lives... yet

How about Google Web Accelerator which they pulled off the market 3 days after it's release because it was caching private forums and logins?

Great beta testing there :roll:

The whole reason I use google as my home page is because there's nothign on it. Just a search box and a couple links so it loads up instantaneously. I guess we'll have to see how much crap they try to stick on the page but hopefully if you don't login you can just get the plain page I'm used to.

if they use MSN they'll never find what they're searching for though!

In life we often chose the lesser of evils.

Ohhh, I just realized you can drag and drop the items on the screen. Neato.

Cool...I shall now switch from My Yahoo! to Google, and see how good they are

 

[beach2nd]

Nice

 

[Cristatus]

Already dissapointed by the setup page: it only has a few options. Maybe I'll switch to it when it is more mature, and more local (I am looking for content in Belgium, England, and India)

I don't think it's blind trust. It's just that they succeeded on enough projects that we're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for new projects.

I'm glad they're "all about the $$$$." That means that they're not delusional about how to stay in business.

 

[jalaram]

Just tried it. Not a bad start, but they could do more IMHO. First would be weather for more than one zip code.

Thank you! It's funny to see people freak out over privacy concerns with Microsoft's error reporting and activation, then turn around and drool over Google's browser add-ins and email service.

Its sharp, but I think I'll stick with my.yahoo until I get get some more news sources, comics (please more than 3!), TV listings, and have it tie in with my yahoo fantasy teams, too. Heh.

 

I like it.

Just realized this too. Google is amazing.

 

[NakaNaka]

I really like it but I'm not sure if it will become my homepage yet.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Google becoming too bloated?

 

[Mayfriday0529]

Thats awesome, i like how you can just drag the windows to your liking.

How can you "buy" an open source project?

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I still think google should make anti spyware software

like i said in the other thread about this, I hope they'll add a tv listings option.
