Today's topic: Google. I love the company, the services they provide, the direction and contributions they’re making on multiple fronts and last but not least, the trust factor in knowing that I have good friends that work there. There you have it!
That said, as an outsider looking in, I feel that I am reaching my saturation point with Google. There’s a certain uneasiness I get when there’s an absence of a counter balance. I can’t seem to entirely quantify it, but there seems to be a growing vacuum in terms of Google’s completion. Yahoo and MSN seem to have faltered. And AOL is all but non-existent.
I don’t mean to suggest there’s anything Machiavellian about it, just that I'm now weary of one stop shopping and continuing to add to the imbalance of power, as well as possible privacy issues.
Thoughts anyone?
