Catching on, catching up, catching hell
Dare Obasanjo: Been There, Done That, Now Watcing Google Catch Up
Wow, something has really changed on the Internet. When Google used to release a new service or make a big announcement, there was awe. Over time, there was less awe and more general interest and buzz. People were excited, but they expected Google to do very big things. At times, people were disappointed (Google Talk, Google Analytics, etc.). Nowadays, the skeptics come out in force (count me in as a skeptic as well). It is a good change to see Google having to fight for respect and to earn praise through results, not just press releases and more “betas”.
