Being the customer and what that involves has different implications for different people and different companies and is a totally different discussion. Ducky said that he was the customer, I said that since he isn't paying he isn't the customer in Google's eyes. What Ducky's expectations as a customer are, I don't know and rather imagine are quite different than mine. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
So I AM the customer, then, since I am paying for the services I get from Google, right? Does the fact that Google does have paying customers that are not advertisers or big corporations change your argument at all? At least a little bit?
