Why It’s Hard to Hate Google

xkcd comic

Because they do things like this [quoted from the company’s ‘unofficial’ human web portal, Matt Cutts]…

Randall Monroe, the creator of xkcd, suggested that if YouTube commenters had to listen to their comments read back to them aloud, it might lead to better discussion on YouTube. Some Googlers thought that was a pretty fun suggestion, so they did it. YouTube now has an audio preview so you can listen to your comment before you post it. I love that Google had the sense of humor to add this feature.

Fun stuff. But it also raises the question: is Google the Miss Manners of the digital age? [Thanks, Doug, for raising that question.]
