GoogleAnnoyances2014

Introduction/Definition/etc

While trying to put up

ECT2014

I run into more problems than GooglePlus2011

GooglePhishingForPhoneNumbers

and even GoogleEar2014

....

Body

Common Names

So Google takes the most common names,

Picasa

Doc

Drive and makes it a Google term,

thwarting it's own search engine perhaps

and messing up users in the process,

so to go from Picasa, to YouTube,

a forced transfer

because Picasa has gone out of style,

YouTube requires a Channel, or nags one to death,

forcing one to a Google+ terms of service,

and further into the

google drug,

and getting off that drug is nearly impossible,

the slow boil problem of cooking a frog,

the temp/ read privacy subtracted

and subtracted, until you cannot

survive....

Editing video on the server

A "feature" of YouTube requiring a Plus account,

being social and putting your contacts at risk,

well, even more, and then you can't edit the video

to publish something, snipping out the frozen tail for instance...

Android

Only allows one google account to work,

iOS app can have multiple accounts, well up to 5

or so, to check gmail quickly, instead of a browser

interface...

Speaking of which,

can't search messages in the standard interface,

must go out of the app to a full web browser interface to lookup something

say a particular email, to reference, say a coupon, in a store...

Conclusion

Summary of experience or similar

Possibly a user problem, like between seat and keyboard,

or maybe more middle finger and eyes...

Discussion
