A question
by Dachi May 10, 2006 3:38 PM PDT
Since Microsoft's dominance of the desktop OS market prevents them from bundling many of their own solutions, should the same rules apply to Google as they increasingly dominate their market?

Google Trends, very useful!

I've been waiting for something like this for a while, it's brilliant, tells you how many people are searching your keywords and where they are located! I think many webmasters would appriciete this one. Really useful when you're picking out keywords for your meta tags. :)

What a surprise someone who has Google Ads on his web site, which means he is making money from Ad sense Click fraud, would like what Goolge does!

without google coming out with some new service. At this rate, all they need to do is intergrate all these little services into one easy to use desktop interface and bingo, googleOS is born!

Go For It Google

I'd love to see Google try and make an OS. Then they'd see how difficult it really is. It's easy to drop a few cool tools on an existing OS and call it innovation. Try owning an OS... spending piles on dev to make sure that it works with every piece of hardware and device out there (and getting **** on when it doesn't)... and getting sued for every piece of innovation that they try and put into the OS because some 2 bit company has a similar idea and wants easy money instead of trying to build a profitable business. And then trying to deal with antitrust morons that are still living in the 80's and think a browser and media player shouldn't be part of an OS.

Way to go Google.!!!!!!

Not only do they organise a Quest (Da Vinci Code promotion) where UK and Australians cannot answer questions because the answers lie in Google Books that only can be seen from the US. They close the UK competition 24 hour early leaving thousands of questers not being able to complete the quest. Google you need to get your act togethor, as you are losing it.
