Yet More Google Gazing

Posted by michael on from the future-cloudy-ask-again dept.

povvell writes "Bob Cringely has joined the club and just set out his personal vision for the future of Google now that it's flush with cash, thereby joining a happy band of Google gazers. But is he right, and are they? My own guess is that the company intends to become the biggest advertising platform in the world. What's yours?"

    Maybe really smart high level execs need more really smart high level people to help look over their mistakes privately so this doesnt happen as much.
    But if a really smart high level executive has a really smart high level person look over their mistakes, wouldn't that mean they would make the mistake nine times? I'd hate to see what happens when he shares it with larger group. 3^8 mistakes? That could get ridiculous.

  6. What is this "Google" you speak of? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    I did a WebCrawler search and can't find anything about it. It is a NCSA Mosaic enhancement?

    They are just trying to solidify the BRAND, so they can start selling tasty, fruity, frozen GooglePops (with Vitamin C)!
