they sure have created some helpful stuff, but i not sure where all this is going since there is no competition and they can pretty much do whatever they want.

You bring up some thought-provoking points. I am not aware of the extent of Google’s applications and influence; all I know is that they have an extremely helpful and efficient email system and search engine. Perhaps Google needs some checks from competitors such as Microsoft, but I see Google as having great ideas for efficient internet services.

I completely agree with the domain squatting… There have been several times I have gone to a site with nothing but BS and Google ads on it… very sad…

you didn’t mention that clickfraud problem which is somehow exactly like stealing.

And google doesn’t do anything about it …

this is the darkest side of google , in my opinion

Everyone is a conspiracist… And everyone is paranoid too… But then again, who isn’t trying to take over the world? I can vouch for my Grandma

“Don’t be evil”, is the phrase that the founders deemed to be representative for Google the company. I trust them.
I think that they face compromises more for the responsibilities of being a ‘global’ company than to gain market share, win competitors, spill money from customers.
I see that mostly every move is oriented toward making the web a nice, useful and fun place to visit, and the economics behind are transparent enough for me. This is coincident with my user’s interests and with Google’s as a company interests.
Let’s think what the web would be without.

You are so right. Google pretty much controls the web world from websites, to blogs, to maps our homes, and now will control our phones from Voice. They are really taking over.

you are absolutely right. Google is a mystery, and appears to be ‘above the law.

Your comment….”complacency has led to havoc.” is so simple, yet so powerful, in so many ways. Not just politically, but also from a marketing point of view. I’ve worked with very large clients who grew complacent in so many ways…they’re no “very large clients” for anyone! We must never become complacent.
