The Google Pile-On
Let’s all jump on Google and predict their imminent demise. After all, they’re the most successful Internet companies EVER !
The latest to jump on board is…shocker…Yahoo. Who would have thunk that Yahoo would be attacking Google ??!!??
BBC News has an article on their Technology site in which they give Yahoo the podium to besmirch their arch enemy Google. Meanwhile, Google cares not a whit about Yahoo. Read it if you must, but keep in mind that this is the latest in a long list of such articles.
Read the BBC article. Learn all the ways Yahoo is diversifying, how they focus like a laser beam on their target market. Then go look at Yahoo.com and see if you can make any sense of what the hell they are about. I certainly can’t, so when I see yet another article aiming at Google and predicting their imminent failure, I begin to get really pissed off.
Google is diversifying at a staggering rate. Click here to read just a few of their recent innovations:
Integrating virtual keyboards in Google search -
Lessons learned developing a practical large scale machine learning system -
Building scalable, robuts cluster applications -
How Google Places can help you attract and be discovered by prospects for free –
Am I a Google worshiper? You bet I am. I totally admire the way they focus on the end user and aim all their products at their ideal target. They never seem to get distracted. Yahoo could learn a great deal from Google. Stop predicting their demise and start innovating yourself.
FTC After You? You know you’re doing something right.
When was the last time the FTC was after Yahoo? I certainly can’t remember it. But they’re sure watching Google. Why? Because Google is UP TO THINGS !! They make things happen. They shake things up. The Google AdMob deal is another example.
I don’t blame Yahoo for sniping at the heels of Google. After all, they’re getting crushed by Google. They have every right to be upset. I’m more upset by media outlets who seem to siding with the losers and lifting them up, despite years of failure. Yahoo is a failed model, especially in search. The “press” like the BBC need to report the facts, not agendas.
