G+_Chris McIntosh Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 So Google+ Local has a new slogan - "Places you'll love, from people you trust". That sounds awfully familiar for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Demian Dellinger Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 So much for complaining that fb steals. That's pretty shameless. But probably done just so TWIT peeps will talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Fogle Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 TWiT doesn't have a monopoly on the term, but in an anonymous Google search, it is the top result for the phrase "from people you trust". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Boyter Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mark Fogle it's coming up as the second result for me with personal results turned off after People You Trust Productions, which I guess is fair. I wonder if we'll ever see those results tweaked just a tad to see Google Local get a bump. I don't know how popular a search term that is so I don't know if it would be worth Google's reputation to 'adjust' the results. Right now Local is at seven.

G+_George Kozi Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 just for that one, I think Google should equip the TWiT staff with Pixels and Glass. Larry Page Leo Laporte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Demian Dellinger Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Or stop the TWIT video take downs on YouTube for bogus copyright infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Boyter Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 George Kozi I doubt Leo Laporte would wear Google Glass. He might take a free one, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Damian Mongru Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The 'from people you trust' part of the slogan has always irked me. There was a discussion on Windows Weekly many years ago on 'Don't be Evil'*. You should really know not to be evil, it's completely superfluous. I understand where the slogan is coming from but you don't need to tell me that you're not evil, or that I can trust you. That's generally a bad sign. *Paul's analogy was along the lines of if you're at a party and someone says 'this is a great party' - you'd only say that if you're trying to convince someone you're having fun, if you're having a great time then you don't need to say it.

G+_Demian Dellinger Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Damian Mongru don't you sometimes iterate that something is great just because it really is? This is a great song. This is a great basketball game. This pizza is awesome. This app is so cool. When I hear "from people you trust" on TWIT I actually think "yup, I do trust them."
