Scroogled

There's a new phrase being thrown around by Microsoft, and it's "scroogled" which is a play on words combing google and screwed. There is a major war going on between Google and Microsoft, and Microsoft is playing dirty. They are trying to let everyone know that Gmail goes through your emails to find what you're talking about and interested in order to advertise to you, and Microsoft is trying to be really negative towards them. But Outlook is already a very good and modern webmail client, that they don't need to be so negative to compete with Gmail. It has features that Gmail doesn't have, such as Active View, and it's a bit more modern, which Gmail can become cluttered. I personally think that when you try to be negative and bash a company, it usually ends up backfiring on you. People like to root for the underdog or the person or company who is getting picked on. So Microsoft should just focus on what they do better than Google instead of being negative, and maybe they can win fair and square.
