Dear Google: Stop.

So the other day Google changed the look of their Reader. It is now stark white and gives me a headache to look at. No exaggeration. So I have stopped using it and moved over to Netvibes instead, on the recommendation of a friend.

This is after they changed the way their chat works so that if you have GMail for Domains, which I do, it no longer let’s you interface with AIM. I speak to my mom and my sister via AIM. So now I have to be logged into an additional programme in order to speak to either of them.

You are suppose to be able to be logged into multiple GMail accounts, for domains or not, in one browser. Except it assumes that if you log out of a user name in one programme, i.e. the aforementioned Reader, you want to log out in all the others. So I am constantly logging back into YouTube and my Designed To A Tee calendar. YouTube is through Simon’s account since he was not stuck in the hospital for 5 days after having a child that people wanted videos of. And our family Calendar is on DTAT, so I use it quite a lot. It all worked fine for about a week. And then they launched Google+ which I can’t use thanks to the previously mentioned use of Google for Domains.

So, Google. Stop. You aren’t making things better with these changes. You are making them worse. Stick to what you do well, which is search engines.

Thanks.
