Comment on Has Google been humbled?

Comments

Google has definitely been humbled by Twitter, Groupon, Facebook, etc. That said, they're still awesomely successful and useful. The point of the post, though, is about how Google is becoming less relevant/useful and I couldn't disagree more.

Pewpewarrows listed technologies. These are the ones I gladly depend and use at least once per week on:

Search

Gmail (6+ accounts)

Docs

Cal

Contacts

Tasks

Picasa

Custom Search

Reader

Android

Chrome

Ad Manager (DFP)

Adwords

Analytics

Website Optimizer

Python (a bit of a stretch, but I use it because Google does...)

My life is just a lot better because of these bits of technology. Seriously. Lots better. So bummer about Groupon, but Google's rockin and super relevant.
