Although I mentioned business strategy, by 'blown away' I mostly mean engineering enginuity.
But as far as business is concerned, they are still in a good spot, what with basically owning the internet, even though they haven't monetized it much.
It is fairly obvious that they care more about engineering solutions, with monetization as an afterthought. This means their solutions are extremely dominant in many fields (maps anyone?) - turning that into revenue at some point seems inevitable.

A true statement, they at least have the foundational technologies for doing better, but so far all of the profitable business ideas seem to center around advertising (youtube anyone?). I'm just not sure how much further that idea can stretch...do I really want to see advertisements while building my house in Sketchup?
