Oh yes. I've been in the business since '94 and an Internet user since the late '80s. I did a massive amount of advocacy for the Google in my region when they first came on board. I've been to the Googleplex before and Google was by far my favorite company. The downfall has left me pretty cynical about unbridled capitalism.
Even a place like X, which I advocate for now, has a dark side as unfortunately has befallen our dear Mr. Taibbi.
I keep coming back to the nature of power. Power corrupts and the more centralized it is, the more corrupt it will be.
I can't even avoid Google tools in my business and so I must use aspects of it all day long. Frustrating. Would like to see it smashed into Baby Bell shaped pieces.
Remember when Google's motto was "Don't be evil"?
