Look, Google, if I search for something like bluetooth trackball, and you can't show me a fucking trackball within the first, say, 16 pages of output, then maybe it's a good idea to either:
- Refine the algorithm so that it puts trackballs earlier. I gave up after 16 pages
- If there are no bluetooth trackballs, and I'm beginning to suspect there aren't, tell me there's no fucking bluetooth trackballs!! Don't just assume that if I can't have a trackball, I'll want to sift through all the pretty mice hoping to find one. Or if you are going to do that, put a big fat disclaimer in 50pt type at the top saying "we couldn't find what you wanted, but maybe you'd like to look at these instead?" or something... anything?
Urgh.
You should demand your money back! Seriously, Dredd, I love this weblog; it reminds me how great my life is going and how much more tolerant I am generally, but you never gave Froogle a dime.
Duh! I know that, but Google's goal is to make money. They do this by driving traffic through the site.
They can only drive traffic through the site if the site is useful.
The site is not useful if it can't sort out basic situations like the one I described.
Thus, the site is not only "not meeting my needs", but not doing what Google *wants* it to do, right?
I will rue the day when trackballs are no longer sold. And if you do happen to find a bluetooth trackball, let the world know, I have been searching for quite some time.
