I wish Google continued to being an awesome Information Retrieval company that they always were. I loved Google's original mission, the automation and the algorithms.
- arctangent 16y agoI don't have a source for Google's original mission, but I think it is fair to say that their current mission is to collect as much information of all kinds as they can, make it findable by people, and make money by selling targeted advertising accordingly. If Google make their products more social then their is a clear value-add for the consumer of the data, and also a value-add for advertisers. I don't think Page is making a mistake here at all.
- waqf 16y agoGoogle's original mission was predicated on the existence of Web as it was in the late '90s. Doing just what they did then is not an option, and it's not merely because they've grown.
