Here in a nutshell is why Google continues to get hyped by everyone including me (notice who I work for). Google surprises [sic] you. Delights you. Gives you what you want (not always, but more often than the other engines).

We trust things more when they look like they were done for the love of it rather than the sheer commercial value of it.

Never use pages for personal brand!

A great product will survive all abuse. Google Glass is a great product. How do I know? Every person I put it on (I did it dozens of times at 500 Startups yesterday) smiles. No other product has done that since the iPod.

I shook Steve Jobs hand.

But there's a bigger trend I'm seeing: people who used to enjoy blogging their lives are now moving to Twitter.

Twitter lets me hear from a lot of people in a very short period of time.
