google+ was about the point when i realized that google the company sucks all that underhanded poo poo they did to get people signed up was because it was some executive's project and he wanted bigger numbers to look good. also having things you do on other sites show up as activity in google+ (like youtube comments) so they could claim to have more daily users.

why not use the highly trustworthy product reviews on the website you're shopping from?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:how much of search degradation could also be attributed to content being locked behind a bunch of garbage bullshit javascript? i think the crawler is basically a full browser these days i think the arms race between google/seo is probably the main thing.

SO DEMANDING posted:bing maps is good for their birdseye view (photos taken from low flying airplanes), something which google maps used to have but then ditched in favor of their gloopy dogshit looking 3D crap (though sometimes I've seen embedded gmaps things that still have it, old api version or some poo poo?) if your computer is lovely enough you get that version

Jenny Agutter posted:an extremely cool feature of google earth was the ability to pull a GPS track off a Garmin device and import it straight in so you could see your little hike on the terrain. Google's abandonment of their sort of maximalist approach to design has been really sad, every service you can watch good useful features just drop away for seemingly no reason it seems like there's been an industry-wide trend the last few years of eliminating features and options, seemingly in an attempt to ape apple's "minimalist" design. i miss the days where if software wasn't working the way you wanted there was some option buried in the preferences that would fix it

Komojo posted:My favorite part of Google search is how you can add "-" to filter your search but then it just adds those terms to the advertising results. So if you add -"funko pop" to an image search the first thing you will see is a row of ads for funko pops. but why are you seeing ads?

our website is so laden with cruft and third party scripts and ads and tracking scripts and social media integration and auto-playing videos that no one asked for, now it's loading too slow solution: amp

rotor posted:this is my all time favorite right behind people who give products a 4 star review because, despite breaking the first time they were used, they were packed well and got there fast. yeah these people were probably paid to give it a good review i read an article about someone who does fake reviews. the people paying for the review didn't actually care what she wrote, so long as it was a 5 star review. so she'd leave an honest review but always with 5 stars.

searching for a circuit design thing, using the word "io" (input/output) google is helpfully matching against pages containing "10"
