outside from their search algos, Google has innovated nothing. They stole the business model that currently makes them money (shame on you Bill Gross for not getting a patent on that - you patented everything else in the world) and have acquired most everything else. Yeah, they have a great search engine which I use quite often but it wasnt doing anything for a long time until they noticed a small company called goto.com pioneer paid search then they stole the idea, improved upon it slightly and here you have a billion dollar company. I like the search engine but what else do they have? Youtube? pleeeeze - what an idiot move that was. If you look at all of their business decisions, they all suck. No other verticals bring them revenue - its paid search and that is it. Google better worry about Google. Do you think we will have search engines forever? I don't.
