Angry Do YOU Hate Google?

GOOGLE FAILS TO SILENCE ONLINE CRITICS

The "Do No Evil" Corporation Falls Short in Suppressing Anti-Google Websites; GoogleSux.com Goes Online

Over the years, Google Inc. has meticulously acquired Internet domain names such as GoogleSucks.com, GoogleSucks.net and even GoogleSucks.org - thus pre-empting their use by critics. But apparently, the public relations people at Google have overlooked a popular misspelling of the word 'sucks'. Recently, a new anti-Google website went online at GoogleSux.com

GoogleSux.com lists several major grievances against Google such as their near-monopoly domination of Internet search market, cooperation with China on Internet censorship, privacy concerns and last but not least - their arrogance. It also features a free speech comments area, where any visitor can share his or her opinion on whether Google sucks and why.

The site even has its own t-shirt store with t-shirts and hats criticizing Google. The one-word designs feature words such as "Greedle" and "Big Brother" written in rainbowish colors.

When asked about GoogleSux.com's mission, the site's spokesman Matt Doggs said: "Google is one big PR stunt and has been from the start. They managed to convince the world that they're a cute harmless puppy on a mission to save the world. But in reality Google does do evil and a lot of it. The purpose of GoogleSux.com is to expose it!"

This happens all the time.

New kid on the block comes up with new idea or something cheap claiming to help the average person. New kid becomes popular and arrogant due to this. He forgets his past.

Then someone else comes along and offers something better. New kid becomes history and newer kid becomes popular. Newer kid becomes arrogant after a while and a newer kid comes up. Started with Excite, then Yahoo now Google.

As to whether Google sucks! I say they do. It is only a matter of time before they become history. They created a good search engine. I use Google search frequently.

But their advertising from Adwords to Adsense sucks. They ban Adsense publishers for fraud clicks claiming to protect their Advertisers. But some Adsense publishers are victims of fraud clicks too.

By banning innocent Adsense publishers because of fraud clicks, I feel that Google does not have a proper system in place to protect advertisers. They charge advertisers for the clicks (fraud or not). If they don't have a proper system to monitor this, perhaps they could go the Pay Per Sale way.

I majorly use Google's services rather than the other SEs services because Google is better in terms of eliminating spams and cleaning the search engine.

IMHO, Google is doing a fantastic job of late delivering the best of both worlds. Old content that is still relevant and new content that is cutting edge.

Well I can't say they suck but I certainly don't think G stands for God even though that's what I chose!

They are good at what they do and I appreciate that.. that's why they've been my homepage since I got the internet and they'll probably continue to be as long as they keep their signature (simple) homepage.

I don't think Google knew what they started was going to grow so large.. and I like that about them. I don't find them pushy. I can't really be upset.. they have always provided me free search results.. then they started paying me to maintain my websites every month by sending me a bank-wire.. I'd have to be really rude to start trash talking them now. I don't make money every month from them anymore but I certainly don't send them any of my money to say hey thanks just cause I can.. and I know 99.9999% of the rest of their users don't either.

They did good and we're all jealous.. or we accept it.

Let's say Google wants the best quality results for the users. Spammed keywords, as well as unrelated ones and sites that uses excessive SEO are removed from Google. The best thing to be accepted in Google's pages is to be patient enough.

I love Gooogle very much.

They buy some paid service or create one and release it for free, give chance to developers to work in 20% of their working time to projects of their choice.

I admire people like S. Brin & L. Page that made their company to be so successful.
I think people that hate Google are just jalous about its success.
