Still great stuff.

But now I have one more thing to add…

I don’t know why, but every time I read that last line, I keep seeing a request for a “pantsless youtube upload experience.” Granted, that type of comment wouldn’t surprise me from you, Todd, but it bothers me that my mind keeps going there.

Gmail users were force-fed Buzz. If it tasted great, my reaction would be positive. Unfortunately for Google, Buzz is swimming in FAIL sauce.

Mr. and Mrs. Google can have as many kids as they want. But dropping their newborn off at my house on a Friday night is just plain bullshit.

But Google isn’t treating this like your regular Labs feature. This thing is fully embedded into your GMail experience, not a radio button you can click in the Labs control panel. Seems to me that Google isn’t treating this like one of the little kids that can fight it out with the others on the playground.

I’m gonna defend Google for a moment by unfairly comparing them to Apple.

When Apple launches a new product it’s often considered a piece of artwork. Apple won’t release something unless it is the final edition. As a consumer and fanboy of Apple, I’ve come to expect that from every company. Enter Google…

Goolge Labs is rightly named, not because it’s outcome is sushi, but because it produces sloppy joes. Google pumps out lots of little kids and lets the community decide which ones will grow up (Google Earth) and which ones are left behind in the supermarket. Your reaction to the Buzz might not need to be a reflection on the whole company.

I bet Google will pump out 4 new kids this year (some very ugly), but Apple will just release its iTampon and update it’s other products.

Well, they make sense, but I still don’t care.

You should tell them how you REALLY feel. Gotta love the idea of disabling twitter at 141 characters. Then again, I’d just appreciate it if those stupid things were pulled into the buzz in a semi-timely manner. Like, something faster than 6 hrs later.
