Google Inches Closer to Becoming the Internet
October 14, 2009
Shocking, right? When I articulated this viewpoint in my 2007 write up about Google’s “big play” for the now defunct BearStearns investment shop, few were thinking about this type of big play. Even today, when I point out that “Google has won” in some next generation applications, most people shake their heads slowly and say, “That guy is an addled goose.” Hmmm. Maybe.
For those who are looking at tiny perturbations and missing the larger wave forms, you may want to read “Google Now Largest Source Of Internet Traffic” by Thomas Claburn. You can get the juicy details from the story which first appeared in InformationWeek. You can get my analysis in the Google Trilogy, available from Infonortics Ltd. I think you may find that what seems “new” today is actually the trailing edge of even more significant Google innovations. Those trying to pigeon hole Google have their work cut out for them. Companies trying to catch up with Google may find themselves falling farther behind Googzilla, according to my research.

(Yep, BearStearns paid me in 2007 to write about Ramanathan Guha and the Programmable Search Engine. No. No one gave me money to purchase dog treats for Tess for this write up.)
