If transparency and openness is what furthers Google's monopolistic goals, I say then let be it! I've been hearing more and more of the "Google will start to control everything" spiel. While that may be, it is also a happy conclusion that Google's wants happen to coincide with what the well-minded developer community desires for the future ahead.
- marciovm123 17y agoI think this is more a "commoditize the complement" thing. Chris Dixon had a good post on this recently: http://cdixon.org/2009/12/30/whats-strategic-for-google/ http://cdixon.org/2009/12/30/whats-strategic-for-google/ Friendfeeds are complements to doing things online - it's better for Google to have a whole lot of competitors in that space then just Facebook and Twitter.
