Mighty Microsoft criticizes Google because the search engine is now its big “productivity” rival. Meanwhile, Google’s new Doodle is “very cool” says Twitter users.
“Googlighting” is the latest product of Microsoft’s imagination.
A new video was uploaded by Microsoft in YouTube today to criticize Google Docs. It is worth noting that Google owns YouTube.
Microsoft hates Google
Microsoft's Anti-Google parody, the "Googlighting."
The video is a parody of the 80s TV series Moonlighting, and it’s not funny. In fact, almost 60 percent of viewers hate the video. As of 8PM, the video collected 646 likes and 1,273 dislikes, with a top comment saying that similar to “Moonlighting,” Microsoft is “also relevant 23 years ago.” One top comment adds, “and Microsoft uploaded this video on a website owned by Google. Meme:LOL”
Google Apps, specifically Google Docs, are now a popular, but Microsoft thinks that businesses should avoid Google products because: One, it is limited, and two, poor Google support team.
Aside from productivity applications, Google and Microsoft are also rivals in the search engine business, and apparently, Google still leads with almost 70 to 90 percent market share (depending on location), while Bing still fails with no more than 20 percent of the market share according to the latest data available online.
Google Doodle featuring Google Waves
Google Wave is dead, but not Google’s new waves. For starters, Google Wave was a discontinued product of the search engine giant that focuses on “discussion and sharing.”
The new Heinrich Rudolf Hertz Google Doodle features a Google waves-inspired design, similar to the logo of the dead Google product. That’s nice.
The new Doodle celebrates the 155th birthday of the Physicist, and it is now attracting conversations in Twitter.
One guy writes, “I may not be a physicist but I do love today’s Google doodle/frequency wave in honour of Heinrich Rudolf Hertz,” another Twitter user adds one Hertz quote, “I do not think that the wireless waves I have discovered will have any practical application.” The new Doodle is expected to run until the 22nd of February and it is now available (almost) globally, except United States, Canada and other parts of the American continent.
