Google an example of worse is better

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-11 20:14

Google is a search engine company, thats all they are. They dont make money on Android, Android only succeeded because they marketed apps on an app store like iPhone. They dont make money on Gmail. They are losing market share on video hosting with their obnoxious advertising on Youtube. They actually made a worse social networking site than Facebook, how is that even possible? Facebook was not even designed for large scale social networking, it was just a univeristy social site that went viral. So if someone were to come up with a search engine that became more popuar that Google, then Google is dead, billions in advertising would be lost. Google lacks vision and leadership. So why do Google and Facebook continue to enjoy dominance. The life blood of the tech industry has always been startups, young people with new ideas springing up to challange the larege entrenched tech corporations. MS, Apple, HP, Yahoo, Facebook, Google all started out as tiny startups of just a couple of friends with good ideas. But that is dead now, no one can seem to come up with ideas to challange Google and Facebook, we are stuck with crap. Im writing this because Ive applied to Facebook and Google and they wont consider me because they are closed to new ideas, they think what they have works and are only looking for obedient yesmen. Anyone here interested in a startup? contact me at fraksworld@hotmail.com (this is my junk email address, spam it all you want)

If you're looking for someone who will risk financial backing because you sound like you have a good idea, try look at Kickstarter.com.  That sounds like the most direct route that you're ever going to get anywhere with that kind of mentality.  At the very least, going the Kickstarter route should get you motivated in the way you don't seem to be right now: you actually start developing these big dreams you have and showing their prototypes off.

I frankly don't blame those companies for turning you down if you openly presented yourself in that kind of light.  You sound like every cliche playwright, the waiter who works at a Hollywood restaurant on the side while you work out the details of the next "big Blockbuster's script," only without the waiter routine.

Don't get me wrong: that's a good kind of attitude to have but that's the kind of thing you internalize.  You don't go into a company telling them what you want to change about their company.

Additionally, your history about Google's success just "as a search engine" is slightly off, but I try to limit history lessons for that antisemitic spammer on /newpol/.
