I wrote a long post on The Future Growth of Personal Media - Forget Google!  Just wish I had the time to find every hyperlink to go with this paragraph below - but I have written about just about every single one of them. 

"…But notice that Google is doing everything to be just that - your everything - even you gene bank (23andMe), you radio advertising (Dmark), your video advertising (YouTube) (they want to shuttle the Microsoft-Yahoo merger because it might actually give us an alternative place where we could run ads and maybe exist without Google), your document and spreadsheet (with Google Docs), your Network Cloud with distributed computing (Google Network Architecture can now handle this), your mobile device, your mobile network (with the 700MHZ Spectrum auction and the possible purchase of Sprint last year), Your Social Network (with OpenSocial and perhaps an acquisition of Facebook down the line), your Paypal (Google Checkout), your Amazon (with Google Books), your one stop Analytics vendor (with Google Analytics) and your market research, your Doctor and Therapist (Google Health), your political campaign management with Google handling the Republican Party Convention in Minneapolis later this year.

What else do they want a piece of?  And all for a sticking 1.4  quality visitors a day! 

Yeah!  I wear the Google t shirts a lot (because I like the T shirts) - that’s where it ends."

I used to be proud when people came up to me and asked me "Do you work for Google"?   Today, I say …. no, I work for Monster Worldwide - but I like Google's TShirts … too bad I don't like the company anymore. 

Yeah, it's time for Google to taste some of it's own medicine.
