Don?t Be Too Disappointed By Google Music?s Lackluster Debut

The web is less than enthused by Google Music, which made its debut today with the usual fanfare. The criticism is withering in the usual semi-entitled way. "Where's the Spotify killer?" "Rdio already does this!" "So it's basically iTunes match?" There are two things the critics decline to acknowledge: that Google is providing a simple, free service, and that all Google products start out underwhelming and gradually expand. Android was a mess when it showed up. And it's still a mess — a mess blowing up to the tune of half a million devices a day. We all know Google doesn't ship complete products. So why do we waste our breath in day-one aspersion or praise when it's going to be a new Music down the line?
