Why Google has lost its mojo -- and why you should care | |

Google has gone from innovative upstart to fat-and-happy industry leader in what seems like record time. Put simply, the search giant has lost its mojo. That's good news for Microsoft, and it could affect how you use Google's cloud computing services.

I am not surprised at all; this is the path that, in my opinion unfortunately, the vast majorities of companies take once they become "established".
It happened to HP when Ms. Fiorina and her croonies took control, before it happened to MS, IBM etc. etc. I am a follower of Adriano Olivetti industrial philosophy so I totally dislike this idea that employees are like lemon to squize as much as possible and then throw away but nowadays it seems that the only thing Executives are concern is to meet analyst forecasts... and cash their bonuses. It is a very shortsighted strategy and we are beginning to see the devastating, long term effects of it. This post was edited by Fritzly on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 06:58. |

"...he warned that Google's engineers care more about the "coolness" of a service than about the service's effectiveness. "The culture at Google values 'coolness' tremendously, and the quality of service not as much," Solyanik said."
Coolness is not good enough. No company will switch from software that works for a "cool" web based service unless the service offers better value. Concerning benefits, most companies tighten up their employee benefits when the economy slows down. I doubt that employees stay at any particular company for free coffee, etc. They stay because they are settled in or belive they have a future at their present employer, or leave for more money or a perceived better opportunity. |

I employ a fair number of people. I have never "squeezed" a one (literally or figuratively). Even so, my employees can over stay their welcome like in-law house guests, at which point they need to be shown the door. |
