Google, like other companies in the past are attempting to entrench their hooks into everything and like the powers of the old, that does not work. You should stay to your "bread and butter" not attempting to be an electrical company, internet company, cable company, phone company, OS company.
By your logic Microsoft will eventually fail as well since they're noodling their tentacles in other ventures.

You change your mind in about five to seven years when this model collapses. And it most likely will because when "people or entities do not learn from history they are doomed to repeat it." An old saying. This has failed before in history Google is no exception.

Sorry, you are mistaken in your analysis mate.
Suuuuure. Keep on talking buddy. Google's not going anywhere. We'll see who changes what when this actually turns into a positive revenue generating venture.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23925890 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:12:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23925167
What I see is a company that diversifies and seemingly takes the attitude "Try everything interesting." Look at it this way. 10 ideas may fail and go down in flames. And then 1 hits and is the next big thing.

Companies that don't try die.

Their model is consistent: search for and deploy systems that profile individual behaviors, merge that data with sets from other projects and profile consumption patterns. It's an astoundingly valuable data aggregation that improves with every diversification.

Even projects with high standalone social benefit like Google Earth and Street View generate contributing behavioral data. Assemble the myriad sources and it's downright frightening how comprehensive and durable a profile becomes.

All the research shows we humans simply do not vary behavior in the short or medium term and that the low percentage of us who are likely to alter behavior in the longterm are easily identifiable in advance. I'd kill to know how many PHD behavioral scientist Google has on staff and what algorithm designs they influence.

I assure you Google will eventually fail and its company will plunder in its net worth because they are spreading their forces way too thin and encroaching on seasoned companies territories such as Verizon, At&T, Microsoft, Time Warner etc.,]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23923887 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:40:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23923821 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23923821 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:31:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Google-23923791 said by S_engineer:

Building profiles on everyone under the guise of "behavioral marketing". Big Brother has competition. Or is big brother just outsourcing?
