O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies: "I'm happy to criticize Google for shallow attempts to capitalize on opportunities created by others, and am very concerned about an increasing tendency to favor Google's own content sites rather than distributing attention to others. But Google is a long way from eating their own children, as Microsoft eventually did. Both Android and Chrome demonstrate true strategic thinking, focusing on how to grow the market for everyone rather than just finding advantage for Google. They still seem intent on creating more value than they capture."Tim says no and that makes sense. However, "... an increasing tendency to favor Google's own content sites." is just part of the problem. People cant seem to understand that the links don't come from Google. They are not recommendations. True, I can't say this is Google's fault, but it is a disturbing reality.
Of course, one could argue that asking a billion people to decide what is important beats having every one consult their favorite deity.
