14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Google released Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2006 Results, mentioning that its profits are increased with 67 percent in comparison with the same period of the year 2005. It's obvious that the search giant is continuously attracting new users that are making the company even more popular and profitable. Some time ago, many users were so satisfied with the Google's products that they were sure the search giant is not developing solutions for money, its employees looking to work for its users. I also believe that Google is a company that is aiming to own satisfied customers but, we should agree that the main attraction is still represented by money.
I guess the best example is represented by the mail solution provided by the company that was released a long time ago but it is still in beta and still available by invitation. Since the launch date, Gmail was updated several times with features that were meant to make it the most powerful mail solution on the internet. For example, Mail Fetcher represents an innovative function implemented in the mail service that allows you to retrieve messages from up to 5 POP3 accounts.
I sustained several times that I like Google because it provides online services that are usually more secure and easy to access. Although the company was rarely affected by security flaws, the search giant was recently under assault, multiple products being suspected for containing vulnerabilities: Blogger, Gmail, Personalized Homepage and the examples can continue.
Usually, Google's employees used to communicate with the clients to try to fix reported issues but it seems like the products are now affected by more powerful vulnerabilities. For example, this week Google was informed about potential flaws in two of its most popular services: Gmail and AdSense. A lot of users reported that all their contacts were deleted from the mail service while a huge number of clients are continuously complaining that Google AdSense is loading very slowly or their ads are not showing at all.
So, the company said their profits are continuously increasing but their clients are more and more disappointed by the services provided by Google. Is Google going down?
