Perhaps the bigger issue is Google’s ham fisted product management. Den Howlett at Diginomica, as well as the Financial Times, both did extensive beta or shared thinking in public on major UI/UX changes. Marissa Mayer always used to make incremental design changes on public sites at Google and spoke about why at PARC and other forums. Google News choose a FU approach. Take it or leave it. No persuasion. Why would Google News take such a different approach to product management today compared to 10 or so years ago?
