Google: Why Gmail Failed

Your article states "IMAP/POP access and mail processing continued to work normally..."

Yes, so much for redundancy! I couldn't use the web interface but just switched to using Gmail's IMAP interface on my iPhone. No big deal.

Another Dumb Idea From Google

Google Labs features are OPTIONAL. They are presented as a way to test experimental, not ready for prime time ideas. They are not for the average user, and are only made available to those who opt-in.

Do you suggest that Google should stop innovating? Stop pushing the boundaries of the Internet?

I would recommend getting your facts straight before embarrassing yourself and your publication with unfounded conclusions.

I, for one, appreciate the opportunity to think about what I have written when there is an excellent chance the half-bottle of single malt may have caused me to send a message that I could regret.
