Google's feature creep
The comments section on the page includes this very good point from one Tom Piamenta:
I always felt that hiring someone to manage your investment portfolio was dumb. In order to justify their commission and existence they have to do s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g. They buy, sell, hedge or whatever instead of just clinging to a good portfolio and letting it grow. The result is far less than optimal.Same for Google.. even if you have an amazing simple product, what will you do with the $#I^loads of designers, programmers and consultants?... How can you just let the product rest?
They're ruining what made them great. The reason everyone started using Google in the first place was because it gave good results and the page wasn't cluttered, so it didnt take 2days to load. Nowadays the serps is full of rubbish, adverts, maps, sponsors and twitter gibberish.How the mighty have fallen
