What's been Google's biggest mistake so far? For awhile everyone said Google + was their biggest mistake but the site is still around and flourishing with new users.
Marissa Mayer, Google's first female engineer and one of the first 20 hires, was recently interviewed on "Digg Dialogg" and asked what she considered Google's biggest mistakes:
1.) Google Wave: "Wave. Certainly there were things that we've learned from that, there were things that we would have done differently."
2.) DejaNews: "Shutting down Dejanews.com at 11 a.m. on a Monday morning, and not really having anywhere to post to or browse usegroups was perhaps a mistake"
3.) Gmail Launch: "Launching Gmail on April Fools day was widely misinterpreted. ... It wasn't a mistake as we planned it. It was just a mistake in how we executed."Marissa Mayer, Google's first female engineer and one of the first 20 hires, was recently interviewed on "Digg Dialogg" and asked what she considered Google's biggest mistakes:

Marissa Mayer, Google's first female engineer and one of the first 20 hires? Indeed.
I'm surprised, shocked and amazed. Of course, I've never seen her resume so I had no idea of her background.
My first time hearing her name, it was linked to YAHOO and Tumblr.
I don't know enough about Google's business history to say what their "biggest mistakes" were. But I do know enough to say that letting Marissa Mayer resign to go and work for their competitors was not one of those mistakes. LOL. Straight talk.
