Google, I hate you! (But I want you to love me!)
Do you resent the fact that "Google" has become a verb? Sick of SEO? Tired of obsessing over PageRank? Wish you could quit Google, but secretly crave Google's attention and acceptance? You're not alone!
I hate myself for loving you (my Google rant)
by hmsweaver
But it's getting out of hand. I think about Google all the time -- keywords, backlinks, SEO strategies... What will Google think if I do this? Will Google like that? What if that makes Google mad? I don't want to upset Google!
But I hate that I HAVE to do that! Google's looming Google-icious omnipresence gets on my nerves and under my skin, and I hate myself for having to love Google, especially when Google gives no evidence of loving me in return. Some days it seems like Google loves me, and other days, Google turns all fickle and ignores me for no apparent reason. It's maddening!
Some days, I just want to break up with Google. I want Google to take all his stuff and get out, and leave me alone with my own quiet life. And I can make my place just the way I like it, without having to worry about what Google will think.
But then I'm jerked back to reality. I can't live without Google. Nobody will like me if Google doesn't like me. I'm nothing without Google.
And then I'm back to where I started. I hate myself for loving Google. I hate Google for making me love him. Google, come back! I didn't mean it! Call me!

- Cut corners with Google maps for low quality mapping. How tight must a business be to use Google ?
The directions suck and the accuracy is poor. People use them out out convenience as its certainly not quality. The customisation is weak and there enterprise programme is a rip off for what minimal functions you get !

- Google Rep - I apologize but we can no longer partner with you or your network of sites.
Former Google Adsense Partner - Oh no, what ever shall I do? The Gevil Greedle Google refuses to permit allowing me to partner with them. Apparently the sites weren't up to Google snuff.
Brain inside former google adsense partner - I know, spend every waking second and minute toppling the Gonglomerate? Sounds like an idea pinky!
Google search = Internet Yellow Page Lookup
Google Chrome = Crap Beta squared
Google Apps = Does anyone use this junk?
Google Maps = Get your peeper cameras off my streets
Google Earth = sounds about right
