It's sad that the first comment you received on the blog post was essentially, "I thought you were a hater, but now that you complemented Google, I like you again." The "you either like the things I like or you're against me" mentality, especially when it comes to company loyalty, is really unnerving and you shouldn't feel the need to be apologetic because of that. It's interesting to hear your perspective on Google, whether it's complimentary *or* critical.
- Mark Trapp
I wasn't saying "now that you complemented Google, I like you again." I was more saying "due to your well-founded explanations in this post and the last, I realize that your criticism of Google is logical, rather than emotional."

Graeme, it seems much more reasonable to assume good faith from the start.
- Mark Trapp
Mark, I think it's useful feedback for anyone who writes to hear feedback both from first impressions and from careful consideration, so Graeme's comments are useful. For me, when I started reading this particular essay, it was awesome (the "if everything you do succeeds" part). Then, after carefully reading to the end, I thought it was all awesome.

I particularly liked: "Cultures that don't laugh at themselves are cults."
- Benjamin Golub
Which of these four reasons is the one behind FriendFeed no longer authenticating via Google account? :)

Lines on 'welcome negative feedback' are good.
