I mean c'mon, you are giving away a useful product for free that used to cost a few thousand bucks to use. I know if Honda just started giving away Civics, you would see a hell of a lot more Civics on the road. The impressive thing is that Google has been able to keep the buzz going - and I think the reason is because, for one reason or another, people really enjoy Google Analytics. The same certainly can't be said for buzz-challenged products like MSN AdCenter with its unbelievably ill-conceived user interface and bizarre editorial judgements. As far as I am concerned, Google can keep on running into those "capacity issues" as long as their product keeps being enjoyable to use (and as long as I get in the first round of invites :) ) Google had to know they would run into the “problem” caused by “unexpected demand.” I mean c’mon, you are giving away a useful product for free that used to cost a few thousand bucks to use.

I am not even sure they always know themselves :) The funny thing about Google is that you just never know if their latest PR-stunt is due to a VERY cleaver PR strategy or a total fuck up.

I literally 5 minutes ago posted about our private "invite only" beta being delayed a few days. Now I find out that I'm a moron using old-school tactics. Not sure we'd get the same benefit of the doubt Google gets when our stuff craps out due to unexpected demand though. Thanks Greg.
