I’ve spent a lot of time recently using Google and Google based technologies (Google Earth, Google Mail, Google Home Pages, Google Analytics, Google Spreadsheets, etc, etc) and I just never fail to be impressed. I didn’t even mention creating my own modules for my Google Home Page which is just a joy. Being a developer of SharePoint Web Parts from time to time I have a view of the ‘other side’ and just how hard it is to get things to work as you want. It’s always too complicated - people just want information and my job of getting that to them is far harder than it should be.

But Google stuff just works! It’s simple, and it JUST WORKS! The way they get to work results in people creating stuff that other people want. It must be the way they work, I can’t see anything else that would cause that effect.
