Who's Afraid of Google?
Khuffie writes "Wired has an interesting article about who's afraid of Google: in short, almost everyone! "Even in the early days, its ultimate goal was extravagant: to organize the world's information. High-minded as that sounds, Google's ever-expanding agenda has put it on a collision course with nearly every company in the information technology industry: Amazon.com, Comcast, eBay, Yahoo!, even Microsoft.""
Skype vs Google ????, can't even remember what thats called now. Skype wins hands down.
The adverts payout so little now a whole host of new players has come out of nowhere.
The search is currently quite good, the adverts still ugly.
The blog search was a big disapointment.
Gmail only has a few million users, too late to market.
Video is a poor 4th to every other video site in the world, mostly due to the player only working in Google.
Blogspot spam spot.
Google base has some porn, not enough, or too much depending on what you're looking for.
Could do better.
You do know that this should be modded "+5 Insightful" don't you?

Novamente by Dr. Ben Goertzel is a leading contender in the race towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Mind.Forth AI Engine by Mentifex is another leading, but controversial, AI project.
Artificial General Intelligence (Cognitive Technologies) is Dr. Goertzel's new book on apart-from-Google AI.
Artificial Intelligence For You (AI4) is the Mentifex book on theory-based Open-Source AI.
For everybody's AGI Radar Screen, both these stop-Google AI books need associative tagging with such tags as AI, artificial intelligence, cognition, future, linguistics, mind, open source, programming, psychology, neuroscience, robotics, Singularity, transhumanism, or whatever occurs to you.
