> Google can walk and chew gum at the same time. As I recall from my outside/user perspective: Google Plus pretty much co-opted the entire organization in an supposed "all hands on deck, existential fight" against Facebook. Every product and feature had to have a "social" layer (including GMail!); YouTube even adopted a "Real Name" policy but still amazingly managed to worsen the comment system. Can you imagine what a similar level of effort on the cloud would have produced? Maybe they wouldn't be a distant #3 in that space today.
