14 DAY TRIAL // Google Desktop is one of the applications provided by Google that are meant to bring the power of the online search engine into the offline area. It allows you to find your files with ease, representing the perfect alternative for the classic Windows search. After the first run, Google Desktop will index all your websites, enabling you to search very quickly and without many resources from your computer.
Because the software solution is very popular, Google wants to increase the success of the program by placing ads on the official page of the search engine. As you know, Google Desktop is an application that helps you stay organized because you can find your files with ease. It seems like the search giant has another opinion about the program. As the ad says, you can use Google Desktop to get disorganized.
Philipp Lenssen posted a message on the Google Blogoscoped blog to present a misunderstanding in a Google advert that concerns Google Desktop - Get disorganized in 2007. Use Google Desktop to find your files.
"Are they saying that we'll get disorganized if we use Google Desktop - or are they trying to suggest that we can be disorganized because Google Desktop will help us to find our files? It's not clear to me. Either way, it seems strange that Google would use both "Get organized" and "Get disorganized" in adverts that are trying to push Google Desktop. (Previous adverts have used phrases like, "Get organized in the new year with Google Desktop"), he said.
It seems like the picture from the beginning of the article was captured from the UK version of the Google's website, but it is also available in the .com version if you access it from the United States. Several users reported that the ad is not available for them, Google presenting ads for Google Pack or other products provided by the company.
