Google's Impact on the Internet

Kierkegaard writes "The Globe & Mail and Fortune Magazine both wrote a piece on Google, arguably one of the most important companies in the world, and its influence and impact on the Internet. In particular, they mention the effects of Google's recent new services, like Blogger and Maps, as well as their take on how Google threatens the Microsoft Corporation. "If Sergey and Larry stick to their corporate mantra -- Don't be evil -- and are able to stem degeneration into the typically corrupt corporate ethos, who knows, they may just succeed in assuming the fair and honourable dominion over the world's information they so naively set out to achieve eight years ago in their garage.""

way to filter out slashdot drivel

[brontus3927]

Slashdot stories= interesting
Slashdot comments= YMMV

Solution: Set comment threshhold at 4. Set comment modifier for informative at +2 Interesting & Insightful at +1. Funny, Freaks, & Foes at -2. Karma Bonus at 0.

Now if the RSS feed grabbed the links in the stories, I could possibly skip visiting slashdot altogether

And people in the 16th century didn't sit around all day thinking about how lame horses were.

I'm not saying Google is the Automobile to Yahoo's horse, but your argument is flawed.
