Nothing to see here. Just an idiot with more money than sense, like many of the top execs at Google.

Disclaimer: I work for the arrogant Google hypocrites.

This guy is an idiot. Sorry to be blunt, but anyone who says google has done nothing is clearly delusional. Frankly I'm surprised that this even hit the presses.

He's been a Google puppet for years, this is meaningless.

mav3rick | karma 759 | avg karma 0.58 · | 2020-03-03 23:19:33+00:00

He undermines Google in every post. Par for the course.

Congrats, you've called everyone working at Google an idiot :-)

He does no such thing, he basically just argues it's not as valuable or useful as Google is. Big surprise there.

I can't tell who the idiot here is... Google or Yahoo?

jrockway | karma 72069 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2010-02-18 15:31:29+00:00

This guy is damaging Google.

mitko | karma 833 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2010-12-01 01:51:47+00:00

He is angry at Google but still uses their ads on his site. I wouldn't believe anything he writes.

He seems to be in a Crusade against Google.

axod | karma 15942 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2009-06-09 22:02:15+00:00

Google did the right thing. He comes across as a whining scammer.

gagmaker | karma -12 | avg karma -0.86 · | 2016-11-01 17:06:14+00:00

what a monumental shit this guy is... google keep hitting low and low. pity.

johnnybgoode | karma 1927 | avg karma 3.33 · | 2009-05-13 23:05:29+00:00

Maybe he just likes screwing with Google.

nknight | karma 4320 | avg karma 3.62 · | 2011-12-29 15:03:41

The "dumbass" you're talking about co-founded MySpace, and I don't think he's ever had any professional link to Google.

modoc | karma 3015 | avg karma 3.4 · | 2009-06-09 20:07:08+00:00

He was a domain squatter with text directing people to click on the google ads. He's violating the TOS at the time in multiple ways, and clearly isn't providing any value.

Spending time holding the hand of every pissed off squatter/spammer isn't in Google's interest.

He's a notorious anti-Google troll on Reddit. He adds "Google" to "Go" so that his negative posts will be associated with both Google and Go.

blueskin_ | karma 1344 | avg karma 1.16 · | 2014-01-23 13:24:13+00:00

Because I suspect he's a google shill.

lern_too_spel | karma 3112 | avg karma 0.53 · | 2023-06-19 12:58:11

This is the same guy who made Google take down an open source free demo app because the demo was as good as his whole paid for service. https://m.slashdot.org/story/99766

Yeah, I can't trust Google, but I'm not going to listen to this guy about it.

It's owned by a guy called Jim Groome (jgroome.com), who, from the looks of it, has no association with Google.
