Google Betas

I know, I know, I get the whole Google gig. And I like it.
They're into iterating. They'd rather put out something imperfect and get it right by having people try to use it than by tinkering with it in secret. Have the engineers build it up and put it out there to be used and tested and improved. Speed is better than perfect.

All I'm saying is hire some designers to make sure the little but obvious errors (the ones that they really shouldn't be making even on rev 0.1) don't show up. Try using Google docs lately? It's amazing but also infuriating because you can see the genius at work. It just doesn't work. It's a design thing.

Hire more interaction designers.
