Since noting our strong objections to Google/Gmail's latest shenanigans in yesterday's post, Un-occupy Gmail, we're discovering other voices critical of their heavy-handed redesign.
Scott Wilson sees the Google/Gmail re-design rationale "shaping up to be an unmitigated disaster".
Wilson is certainly in a position to know. He is a longtime blogger of Google/Gmail issues and creator of Indigo Moon Systems, a Seattle-based firm who provide enterprise-grade I.T. management advice to small and medium businesses.
Scott responded to our Un-occupy Gmail essay:
You can read Scott's well-researched and provocative ideas at his blog post "Are the Wheels Coming Off at Google?"
Scott's comment continues, "I admit, I was wrong before about their product development approach; it is not being managed well and is exhibiting some fatal flaws that will ultimately drive away customers and open up niches for competitors. Google: The next Microsoft."
I'll second that. Motion carried: Un-occupy Gmail!

"Funny, I have been thinking (albeit slightly more broadly) along those same lines."
