14 DAY TRIAL // Google is a company that currently has fans in the entire world, no matter what products they like, they are all Google fans, making the company one of the most known brands on the Internet. Remember the search giant's Christmas campaign when the company sent expensive gifts to some of the most successful AdSense and AdWords clients? It seems that Google also offered some interesting yellow pens to Ask Group Product Manager that are apparently full of "bugs" as the search giant's rival sustained.
Scott Grieder made a funny post on the Ask blog to present the entire event, making an interesting comparison between Google Pen and other solution provided by the company. It seems like Ask's Group Product Manager was taking notes at a conference when the Google Pen ran out of ink and let him without any pen to write information.
"I should have known better than to use a free Google product for business purposes." Scott told us in a recent interview. "Google Pen is fine for home use, but not when my company's productivity is on the line. I had to switch pens in the middle of taking notes. There's no telling how much data I lost," it is mentioned in the blog post.
The comparison between Google Pen and other products developed by the company is quite interesting because the Group Product Manager sustained the pen was transparent so you can view its content but, sometimes the results are different from the ones you expect.
"Now I have to apply all my current behaviors and processes to another pen," Grieder explained. "How long will that take? I used to trust Google to stand behind their products. I guess I was wrong." He added, "Thanks a lot, Google Pen. I guess you get what you pay for," was also mentioned on the blog.
The funniest aspect of the blog post was the resolution posted by Matt Cutts, Google employee who advised Ask's Group Product Manager to "try shaking the pen a lot" and it will surely work as a new one.
