Google Taking over the world.
I have this theory based on several things that happened in the last year that Google is planning to take over the World. They are starting small by first taking over the Desktop computer and Internet world. To start there is their launch of G-mail (still in beta) The E-mail System that gives all of it’s users 1gig of storage space! It also quite smoothly bases its ads off of the content in your emails. This along withs its easy to use (of course highly searchable) interface and according to This Article pop access soon, is obviously aimed at crushing the big webbased Email providers (Hotmail and Yahoo) Another app they have developed is the Google desktop search. Just like the search function that comes with windows (allowing one to search for files, programs etc on their local machine) only a thousand times faster. Plus The look and feel of google. I find it interesting that google seems to be jumping out early to combat the new windows os (codenamed Longhorn not due out for a few more years) is supposed to center around its search function. Microsoft seems to be getting a bit antsy and has come back with their own in house developed web search engine. Based on This Article explains that microsoft too will have its own desktop pc search engine. On top of that Google in the last few months went on a hiring spree scooping up some of microsoft’s browser programmers. Are they in the process of creating a browser too? Here are some Clues to that. There are several other little things Google has been doing including items like Froogle, their shopping site, and the aquisistion of several smaller software companies, something has to be up their sleeves. By the looks of it, the currently “cool” google may soon turn into this beast slowly swallowing up everything in its path just like Microsoft did in the last 15 years.
