Of course there’s nothing 100% stable and reliable in the online world as so many services tend to experience downtimes that prevent their users from doing what they want or need to. This is particularly true for smaller and newer services, especially those wearing the “beta” tag near their logos. But in this world that’s [...]

Study Shows People Are More Than Happy with Google

Svetlana Gladkova

Reasons can vary from lack of experience or knowledge to overall lack of usability of the product. But no matter whose fault it actually is, users rarely want to admit that [...]

Google Is a Religion and All Online Businesses are Faithful

Svetlana Gladkova

Guest post by Elliot Cohen, CEO of TripCart.com It is quite obvious that in the online world Google has become a true religion with so many worshippers that it is amazing. I am thinking of this from the side of the web business who wants to find favor in the eyes of God (the search [...]

You Do Believe in Google, Right?

Svetlana Gladkova

I have recently received a very interesting comment on one of my post about Google where the reader compared Google to religion as there are definitely many similarities between how we believe in God and how we have learned to believe in Google (in fact, every time I try to type “God”, I invariably end [...]

Imagine That Wave Does Not Come From Google…

Svetlana Gladkova

The blogosphere has been abuzz over the new product announced by Google named Wave for the last few days.

Svetlana Gladkova

We can think everything we want about Google and we can be paranoid all we want about how it collects all the information about every single user it has, but there’s no denying to at least one fact: Google Search is still their best product.

Google Wants To Know How It Has Changed Your Life. Now Has It?

Svetlana Gladkova
