Look, let's be real, Google Glass was a pretty dumb product. But so are most first gen things. Have you seen early Android phones? lol But the tech writing industry often likes to turn dunking on something into a sport and...that has an under-examined effect on the market.
I remember when G+ first started. Google botched a lot of that! But this completely bullshit narrative that it was a "ghost town" kept getting pushed until it was eventually true. And so the only halfway decent chance at giving Facebook competition was killed in its crib.
I'm not sure many people realize that some of Facebook's current features--selective sharing lists, better event management, etc.--were a direct response to G+. And a lot were half-assed and ignored today. What could've been if "LOL GHOST TOWN" wasn't a meme in the industry?
Anyway, big companies don't really need my defense, and Google did do a lot to justify some mockery in both G+ and Glass. But man, tech blogs ridiculing new shit as a hobby, then wondering where their cool toys are is...something else.
The same folks who cry privacy when it gets clicks and then actively recommend unsafe shit. Wheel never stops.
