昨晚上湊巧也有幸經歷到Google把每個搜尋結果都判別成「對你的電腦有害」事件。今天看到官方部落格馬上站出來解釋情況。發言人當然是大家都很熟悉的Google public face – Marrisa Mayer,她並強調(2次),這次的簍子,來自於人為疏失

 

What happened? Very simply, human error. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously. We do this to protect our users against visiting sites that could harm their computers. We maintain a list of such sites through both manual and automated methods…

We periodically update that list and released one such update to the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here’s the human error), the URL of ‘/’ was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and ‘/’ expands to all URLs…

 

讓我比較驚訝的是,過去網路服務商出包時,總傾向於把錯誤作外部歸因,像是以下我們常看到的說詞:

 

由於系統錯,造成您的不便…

由於突發性斷電,造成…

由於伺服器例行性維護,造成…

爛一點的還有:

由於非預期性的錯誤,造成…(非預期性的錯誤?有人可以翻譯一下嗎?)

 

反正千錯萬錯,都是機器的錯。Where’s the people? Where’s the management?

 

Google這樣做,值得學習。user其實寬容度很大的,user只是想知道原因,user只是想看到企業負責任的樣子。要成就一個大眾喜愛的品牌沒這麼難,也不用花很多預算,也不用天翻地覆跑campaign,只要有血有肉的人出來說人話。怎麼做呢?在官方部落格署真名說真話,不失為一個好方法。
