I hate Google!

Florin Campeanu, Beyond Googlemania, SIPA UK's 16th Annual Conference, 20103

"I think about Google all the time - keywords, backlinks, SEO

strategies... What will Google think if I do this? Will Google like

that? What if that makes Google mad? I don't want to upset

Google!

But I hate that I HAVE to do that! Google's looming Google-icious

omnipresence gets on my nerves and under my skin, and I hate

myself for having to love Google, especially when Google gives no

evidence of loving me in return. Some days it seems like Google

loves me, and other days, Google turns all fickle and ignores me

for no apparent reason. It's maddening!


Some days, I just want to break up with Google. I want Google to

take all his stuff and get out, and leave me alone with my own quiet

life. And I can make my place just the way I like it, without having to

worry about what Google will think.

But then I'm jerked back to reality. I can't live without Google.

Nobody will like me if Google doesn't like me. I'm nothing without

Google.

And then I'm back to where I started. I hate myself for loving

Google. I hate Google for making me love him. Google, come back!

I didn't mean it! Call me!” - http://best.i-hate-google-stuff.ever.com/
