Google, Short Term Memory or Straight Up Arrogance?
Google Web Accelerator v2.0 is back with a vengance, and with it many surprises. The first time GWA was released it caused a huge outrage as to it’s actions, this time it seems to have gone even further,
“In version 1.0, web masters at least had a fighting chance as the GWA identified its requests with a “X-moz: prefetch” header (as prescribed by Mozilla). Sure, everyone in the world had to change their web applications to fit Google’s vision of a perfect world, but at least they could.
Not so for version 2.0 of this virus. It ships with a brand new mutation: The header is gone! There’s now no way to identify a pre-fetch from a regular request, which means that it’s no longer possible to block the GWA.”
Minutes after the linked review from 37signals was posted, Google had chosen to stop it’s distribution and posted:
“Thank you for your interest in Google Web Accelerator. We have currently reached our maximum capacity of users and are actively working to increase the number of users we can support.”
Now, the first time ended just the same way, and I cannot stop thinking whether it is a problem in their short term memory, or are they just that arrogant and do not give a shit about what’s going on?
