Have Honest Opinion

It is very hard to provide an honest opinion when you are involved in a situation. I found it always difficult for myself and admired people of being able to do it, lifting themselves from emotional attachments to the matter.

I am a big fan (if not huge) of the whole Google Apps platform. I use heavily Gmail, rely a lot on Google Calendar, abandoned Excel for simple-to-average stuff and went with Google spreadsheets. I used Google Maps, because it was better than Microsoft's competitive version of the product. Till I had a chance to re-evaluate it again. This time around Microsoft has produces a better result. Microsoft Live Maps gives me more than Google Maps does (weird even to think it, not mentioning writing it :).

What made the difference? The level of details, an option of having a closer look, real images. Anyway, I am not using Live Maps.

  • That's what happens when you play catch-up. You may come up with a better product, but it's too late, the market has settled.

    No suprise :-)

    No suprise again :-)

    Either this is not true, or this IS a suprise :-)

    Though it could depend on on the definition of "Honest Opinion".

    And to be consistent, I need to ask a question: Why do you need the blog visitors to "Have Honest Opinion" ? :-)

  • @SergeyS,
    If this suprises you - what can I do. It's not that difficult to be honest with yourself. When you see someone who's better, admitting the fact that the person is better does not defeat you, it just shows you on what you have to work to become better and stronger than you are right now.
