Google is continuously working on its solutions

Many of you believe that Google is such a big company that doesn't have enough time to answer all the messages sent to its inbox so it's obvious to ignore some of them. Others sustain that Google is not doing many things to improve its solutions unless the users report problems or wants to evolve the current products. However, the Mountain View company is continuously working on its solutions and this is obvious because new features are rolled out periodically. Moreover, Matt Cutts, the Google engineer, wanted to clarify the questions and posted a message on his blog.

Speaking about the current work at Google, Matt said the search giant is continuously working on the solutions but some of the improvements are not noticeable so the critics might be somehow fair. However, all these accusations disappear once the company debuts an innovatory product such as the Street View included in Google Maps.

"Some people think that Google changes a few things every few months. At least in search quality, it's more like a few things every week. From the article: "the search-quality team makes about a half-dozen major and minor changes a week to the vast nest of mathematical formulas that power the search engine." I don't think we've discussed our pace of search quality changes before," he said.

Speaking of Google Maps Street View the function is quite innovative for both company and users but not as much as we expected. First of all, it brings in spotlights another issue that was related to Google Earth in the past: privacy concerns. Because the recently-introduced features shows high-quality pictures straight from the street it's unavoidable to show private photos that should not appear on a public service. In the past, Google Earth was accused by numerous authorities for showing images with sensitive locations in the world.
