How much trust can we have in the Google founders?Sometimes it can be very interesting to look back into the past. As an historian I know that you can get new insights from looking back. With 2010 just starting and many bloggers looking forward, a view back in time can give you a lot of insight.
Seen it? Have you noticed anything in particular? Except for that Brin and Page are almost seven years younger and that the globe with all the searches looks fantastic?
Most of these products were only just launched or about to launch in that period of time. And as you may noticed, most of them didn't make it. In 2004 Brin and Page were all excited about products like Orkut, Google Answers and Froogle. Where are these products now?

really interesting perspective Bas. I do agree wholeheartedly but allow me to ramble for a bit. I am thinking of how many times Edison tried before he got the lightbulb to work. Perhaps the success is not in how many times they failed but how many times they got it right. I don't believe there is a problem if they tried something and didn't succeed, rather than not trying at all. In terms of trusting their judgement or ability, well, perhaps we were and are all naive, expecting that we can trust such folks to always just do everything right. I dunno, like i said, rambling thoughts...

@Melt, ramble on :). The title of course is a bit provocating, as is the question if we can trust their judgement. Yes we (probably) can trust that. It's just a sign that we can be enthusiastic about products now, but that doesn't mean they will be a success in 5 years.
