Don't forget Yahoo!/Bing!

That's search, but still.

I wouldn't want to work for Google. Aren't pretty much all of their employees in Silicon Valley? I don't find that area to be the slightest bit appealing, and I'm amazed an industry sprouted over there, considering the location.

There are tons of things wrong with Google. Although in a lot of cases they get things 'less wrong' than other companies.

Their email service, for example, doesn't allow me to send code because it considers is an 'executable'. This is with their Google Apps for domains service, so I really should have control over which attachments I can send and receive.

There are tons of problems with Google App Engine. They rolled out Java support for it, but their design is hugely flawed which means that just calling up a page is going to take baseline of something like 10 seconds every so often.

Google has a ton of privacy issues. They're very fond of sending info on everything you type (as seen in the now defunct Wave, the new Google Instant Search, and of course Chrome).

I also think that Chrome is trash and their emphasis on browser speed is stupid. Actually, I think web applications are stupid in general, so yeah.

Google's search is only OK. They're really rested on their laurels a lot. And in many ways they've made their search worse, by giving precedence to things like Tweets, etc.

Which company do you like?

Fagzilla · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:47 pm)

I wonder what company that will be.

Fagzilla · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:47 pm)

OH WAIT.

Theldorrin · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:47 pm)

I like IBM.

I like a lot of open source organizations, like Apache, Mozilla, Eclipse.

I have a lot of positive feelings about Amazon. They're not flawless, but they're pretty good.

Microsoft has been in the search engine business for ages. Long before Bing.

Watch out, everyone! AOL and Yahoo!, the two hottest, state-of-the-art, online juggernauts may merge into the largest steaming pile of useless shit ever to be publicly traded.

Big Fagot · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:29 pm)

Yahoo is pretty well respected in certain circles. They employ like 2/3 of the famous Web programmers that exist and do lots of industry leading work.

Big Fagot · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:31 pm)

I forgot the exclamation point in Yahoo!!

Theldorrin · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:31 pm)

I don't think that's true about the famous Web programmers.

If you haven't read a book co-authored by Douglas Crockford, Julien Lecomte or Nicolas Zakas then you probably don't write good Javascript.

I could just be dumb but if I further restrict it to JS guys then it's just Yahoo and John Resig.

Theldorrin · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:37 pm)

All of Javascript is not even 1/10 of Web programming.

Who would you list?

Fagzilla · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:53 pm)

Does the average person even need to know anything about web programming anymore, what with the rise of CMS's like WordPress and Joomla!?!!??

It's a situation that leaves me slightly more questioning than excited, not equally both, which I was hopefully able to successfully indicate, in that sentence.

Theldorrin · (Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:56 pm)

Well, you'd have to look at people that are responsible for the most important web technologies. So you've got all sorts of people that work on various Apache projects, Netscape and Mosaic guys, certain people involved with important languages, like Perl, PHP, Java and the people who developed CGI. Oh, I forgot about SSL. SSL is very important to the web.
