Don't you have the feeling that Google is deteriorating as a whole? I've been using Google Custom Search since some time and I am experiencing problems with their service and they just don't seem to be doing anything about them. In the Google support group on Google Groups there are, on average, 4 complaints daily about a custom search engine not working and this has been so for a few weeks. This is not the quality one would expect from Google, I would expect this only from a third-rate company. What to say about Google Groups then - I can't figure out why they created this service on the first place, it's so basic and still lacks some key features and its visual design is appalling. And no improvement is to be seen. Is Google losing speed and innovation spirit due its huge size?
