Dear Google

Dear Google,

First I want to say that I love most of your suspiciously-free products and services. This letter will be the first of many in which I express both my love and adoration about a particular product or service, as well as the drawbacks, annoyances and limitations I find, most of which I feel you could easily adapt to and work on with little effort.

I feel we have a developed a good relationship over time. At first I only used you to search for things on the web. Then I dabbled with your mail program on and off, a little Google Earth here...some Google Docs and Labs there....until eventually becoming a born-again convert. This started to get intense around 2 years ago, and since then I haven't escaped your clutches....and all the while, whether I was aware or not, I was coming to learn and exploit your recursive search algorithm, allowing me to develop a system to successfully, and quite rampantly, search engine optimize my various client's websites.

Not to mention the fact that we have the same birthday.....which is always a treat when I go to do a search on September 27th, to find balloon and cake images waiting for me, and knowing that a majority of people around the globe using search engines that day get to celebrate with us!

Google....we really are connected.....

So please don't take it personally when I point out the things I do in this series of letters. It is only because I wish the best for you and want to see you accomplish all that I know you can....and I know we are supposed to love something for what it is, not for its potential...but I cannot help but wonder what can be achieved if we start working on these drawbacks, together.
