Google will take money away its partners: Webmasters

I would like to know how webmasters, one of google core fan base feel about watching its beloved google take their small business clients.

Yes, you are right. People need to wake up!

People should really wake up to the nightmare that Google & Yahoo are making the Web to be by entering business after business and thus killing any business that are in those other businesses. I mean in last few years Google & Yahoo have entered into following businesses: web site hosting, on-line dating, payment processing, real estate listing, etc. etc.
So how long before they are in my/your business and thus deliver it a mortal blow?
It used that be that the Web was a source of value for the people, for small businesses, but more and more it is becoming a source of value for a Google & Yahoo only with the rest of us getting the scrap off the tables if even that :(

That is why I support independent search engines, search engines that promise to ONLY be in the search engine business, such as this search engine called anoox. You can read about their promise here:
http://www.anoox.com/in-search-engine-business-only.jsp
& check this out too "Take the web back":

So either remain with your head in the sand and use/support Google & yahoo to the determent
of yourself, your business or switch to independent search engines like anoox.

GMAIL Versus Google Apps

Look at http://www.ImAllAbout.com You can get a personnel Google Apps account such as @ImAllAboutGolf.com or @ImAllAboutMe.com. I have just signed up for an @ImAllAboutGolf.com account and I did not have to pick some cryptic email address.
