Pretty good week for Google

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Does anyone else remember seeing so many little, yet very useful, announcements being made by one company the way Google made them in the last half of this week?

We got new Gmail features, vacation auto responder and Contact Groups, they put out a Blogger comments Firefox extension along with a Safe Browsing extension, and then topped it all off with a Mobile Gmail rollout.

Can’t say that I accomplished that much this week, can you? 🙂

Turns out it was a user uploaded version. There wasn’t much in the way of documentation, I guess that’s a hazard of…

  • Excellent Customer Service, or Greasing the Squeaky Wheel?

    One of the things I’ve long wondered about bloggers writing about good service from a company is whether they got that service because the company really cares about taking care of it’s customers, or if they got that service because of who they are. A fine example came about last weekend when Louis Gray wrote…

    Morten passed along this link, which is a place for you to validate your robots.txt file. He mentioned it to me because the robots.txt file I just put up on Monday had a typo in it. How embarrassing, but also how cool that it took less than 48 hours for someone to give me a…

  1. Looks like they’ve pulled the firefox extension already – having said that if you google “firefox blog extension google” you can download the page from google’s cache – which strikes me as rather ironic.
