I love Google. I love Google products. I use at least five Google products every day, often more. If Google were to go away, I would suddenly have to go buy calendars and photo albums and a diary and an encyclopedia set and pens and paper and stamps and envelopes and tons of maps. I would drown in a sea of paper.
But I'm starting to think that maybe Google doesn't get me. Or at least I am not their target audience.
But today, as I was checking my email, I noticed a new button in my black bar. Play: New! it screamed. I clicked it, and it's just a store with some video games and books. Maybe it will be cool, I don't know. But the button for it is right there in the middle of the black bar. In the place where I wish the Reader button was. Or the Photos button. Or the Blogger button. You know, buttons that actually do something for me.
I understand Google wants to be cool, or hip, or whatever the kids are saying these days. But I wish it would embrace what it does so well, and stick to organizing my life and thoughts and information stream.
Though there was a rental link to "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" on that Play page....hmm.
