My Email with no replies

Here is a letter I've been emailing to Google and Google Blog team. I sent this a few times, spanning over the past few weeks. It would be very much appreciated if I knew better contacts... or maybe there is something wrong with the craft of my letter. Please help. Thank you.



Google Associate: Hello, my name is Santi Rung-Aroon. I am a high school Junior in the International Baccalaureate program. I am interested on doing an paper on Google. I have two classes I would like to use information for: I am doing and Internal Assessment for Higher Level Business (1,200-2,000 words), as well as an Extended Essay (4,000Words) for Theory of Knowledge. I will start off by saying I am a major google fan. I use the Chrome browser, Google+, Gmail, and Google docs. I am also attempting to develop apps for android; however, I don't have a personal computer which limits me from executing my dream. I would like to analyze some poblems google may be facing, and attempt finding a solution. I hope to focus on issues in Marketing. I was wondering if Google had any problems or concerns with anything related to this topic. I would like to somehow set an appointment over phone or chat. I don't have a webcam so I cannot utilize the conferencing.
The ChromeBook has not caught on to the general public as much as I hoped. When I first saw the ad for the Chromebook on my Chrome browser I was extremely excited; however, when I opened the link, I was disappointed. I read the specks of the Chromebook and the Memory was nowhere near enough. I would need at least double everything the Chromebook had to offer. I think the operating system would also lead to problems. I need to be able to run several programs, such as offline documents and Software developing tools. I realize that cloud computing has a plausible chance of becoming the future; however, at the moment I don't see it working.
How would I be able to access my files offline? Well there is the contract with ATT; but, with the economy I lack funds to do that. I already have to pay an outrageous data plan just to support my android. The only way the cloud could truly catch on to the public, is if Internet access became as readily available as radio stations. What I mean by that is: being able to connect from any urban setting, and the majority of rural settings.
Google Buzz never really caught on. Are there plans to redeem Google Buzz? It seems to me like Google Buzz was a method of competing with Twitter. I think it may not have caught on due to the lack of advertising. Google Buzz was kind of just a link on the side of the Google toolbar. There wasn't a very good tutorial either, if I remember correctly. I also think there was no incentive for Twitter users to switch over to Google Buzz. There seemed to be no features or anything that would give Twitter people the incentive to switch. Similarly to Google Buzz, I noticed Google+ is competing with Facebook. Google+ seems to be slowly catching on; however, I think it is doubtful that Google+ will catch on in its current state. The layout is a little weird. The side bar seems to take up to much space. When Facebook came out with several updates to their layout, several people were angry. The public is hard to please. Several people want more advanced features and abilities; however, at the same time they want simplicity. Finding the correct balance is difficult, however is possible. I think the layout and features will be key in winning over Facebook users, as well as additional advertising.
Several people are also hating Google for the fear of their privacy. I dont reallly mind as much as the rest of them do, but do you see this as an issue? Thank you,   Santi Rung-Aroon
