Is it me or Google Resembles a virus? (e.g.: Spreads everywhere without control)
I wonder where it will lead us to, some day i think the antivirus companies will include google in their virus definitions |D
The first time i met google it was really small, still worked from the garage facility of the two college students (that are mega rich today), i would say it has grown one billion percent since then :o

Will you wake up someday and read the newspaper: "Google bought the world"?

Just like time when the Microsoft company had monopolized the software market all over the world before, Google starts to monopolize Web today... I'm reading the book 'What Web2.0 killed'(Written by Atushi Miyawaki) which is criticism book on Web2.0 now, and I thought that we should always pay attention to service and the business on Web in the future.
I don't still understand about what Google thinks in back side, but we should not admire them excessively.

I think you're being cynical. It's unfair to penalize a corporation for being very successful.

Unless you can present evidence that Google participates in immoral business practices.

Well, lets face it. Who normally goes to google when they are looking for somthing? I do.

It's all about good service and falling in to a habit. One day, "just google it" will become a common saying. Oh wait, that's today...

I agree. Google successfully seized the business opportunity when internet search and advertising was in its infancy and captured the greatest marketshare of internet searches. They should not be penalized for that.

Nor should they be penalized if competitors fail to create a superior service.

Only if Google actively uses methods that PREVENTS other competitors from creating superior services should Google be penalized. Basically, unless Google does what Microsoft did by bundling software into the core operating system and making it very difficult to install third party software, most critics are just envious of its success.

there's nothing really bad about Google... then if youre exagerating/metaphorically speaking, then yeah, it is... at least its main site (google.com) is simple... unlike someother search engine... takes so long to open >.< and tooo 'fancy'

well, it is a little concern about it being TOO succsesful...
they bought YouTube, got sued for some video's copyrights, and won? :D
i think Google is now included in Encarta XD
its a verb for all i know...

a site called Friendster was once powered by Yahoo..
and just now i noticed its POWERED by GOOGLE x_x !surprised!
and some other sites...
generally, there's nothing wrong about Google, (i even have a gmail lol XD)
its just super succesful...
but i am watching, until mess' up,
that'll be the day... XD
