Maybe I missed something but it sounds like a rant from a company that wishes they were bought but weren't.

There doesn't seem to be any insight into how google is 'doing it wrong' other than a kind of 'they don't have the experience like us'.

I really really wished he would have told me what his product does a lot sooner. I don't read LiveNinja's blog every day. In fact, I had never heard of them before today.

I got to "Google copied us, and they suck," and then I simply lost interest.

I have had bigger companies copy my stuff before, sometimes including the typos, so I can feel for his tough position, but this doesn't sit very well.

Not the case. I'm surely not going to spell out exactly what they are doing wrong publicly in the post.

We are competitors now after all. :)

It'd be nice to let potential customers know the difference. :)

Yet you are willing to tell Google what they are doing wrong face to face.

You are clearing shooting to be aquihired

I never said I'd tell them what they are doing wrong face to face either. I just said I'd be happy to share insights to the market.

There's a difference.
