I for one would like to thank Larry for messing this up.
While current situation is far from perfect (looking at you Mark Z), I don't think having the Borg being the top dog on both Search and Social would have been a great thing at all.
- Beldin 7y agoYou mean: "the top dog in search, online videos, web analytics, web ads, and social". It could have been a bit worse. It could have been a lot better as well: google already has one of its fingers on about half the pages of the Internet.
- lapnitnelav 7y agoExactly, thank you for fixing my mistake. Uncle G has already too much grasp on the web as it is.
- dekhn 7y agoYes, but imagine what could have happened if Google had gone all-in on cloud instead of social in 2011. Instead of seeing some lackluster earnings from a still totally dominated-by-ads-revenue Google, we would have seen a roaring revenue engine fuelled by cloud growth. TBH that was really Google's market to win because they had all the infrastructure to do it in 2011, but didn't want to expand in cloud because it was perceived as low-profit-margin compared to ads.
