I thought this was quite an interesting comparison between "Old Google" and "New Google": http://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/never-trust-a-corporation-to-do-a-librarys-job/ http://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/never-trust-a-corpora... Something i'm increasing attributing to the difference between making money and adding value, between a nash equilibrium and the socially optimal solution now seemingly picked up by volunteers like the Internet Archive :(. I still use google search, youtube and maps but increasingly i can only see this use dwindling partly due to malvertising but as mentioned due to the problem of not getting to depend on any google service. But also in the case of search because of privacy concerns and maps because (free) apps tied to Openstreetmap are so much better for anything other than driving, and i can contribute back to them etc.
