Google Couldn't Find a Mac Developer for the Blogger Word plug-in

Came up short? Sure, more than likely, and very feasible. Why? The ratio of coders to 'users' is *much* lower in the MacOS camp than it is for any other platform. Why? People usually buy a Mac because they don't want to know a single thing about the why's and how's of what goes on behind the screen. They just want it to work properly -- turn it on, use it, turn it off. Apple's reliability and much-vaunted ease of use is a double edged sword. (That, and the fact that any decent Mac coder is already gainfully employed, and/or too busy to take on new projects ... coders who are multi-platform savvy even more so, and can usually name their own price and get it.)

That link didn't come out right... Click on my name for a link...

Looks like Google has a hard time finding Mac developers? smugmug maps - no Google Earth for Mac?. Really...

"I think they just didn't try. Like Yahoo, like TiVo and all the others." And RealPlayer...

My guess is they're being cheap when they're looking to hire someone to develop this. Also, I'm sure that if they posted they were looking for a Mac Developer outside of their company, they'd be more likely to find able programmers. I think they just didn't try. Like Yahoo, like TiVo and all the others.

You have got to be kidding me...it's Google's fault they couldn't find a mac developer to write a COM or VB add-on to Word...if it could even be done with the Mac version of Word. The righteous indignation is so think you could cut it with a spork...

Maybe they were looking for a Mac developer familiar with coding for MS Office...

And if they were looking for someone inside Google, we know for damn sure that there's no one who can develop a Mac version of anything.

Maybe they were looking for someone who worked inside Google?

What a lame excuse.
