I like the products that Google offers, and it's pretty obvious most of the world does too. There's a reason Gmail, Google's search engine, and Youtube have more or less dominated their respective markets. I think that their inner workings as a company are flawed though. It'd be neat to see more inside stories from employees, not unlike what was shown from the now infamous 'Google Manifesto'.
^ Google bought youtube a while ago I forgot when.
Google forcing you to sign into youtube with your google account if you're signed into gmail really irritates me. My gmail is my professional email so I don't want that linked to dumb stuff I watch on youtube LOL... Other than that I like google drive/word/etc. They're good products. I also heard the pixel phone is good so I wanted to try that too.
Very hard to avoid using all of their products but I have no feelings for them. They're as money hungry and corrupt as every other large corporation. If anything they're worse for the way they masquerade as caring and their quirky office practices.
Yup,I'm using one of their products right now.....a Chromebox.It uses Google's Chrome OS and Chrome web browser and it all works very well.I also check out YouTube quite a bit and Google is the only search engine I use.
