I was reading a Paul Graham interview from a while ago:

Here is an interesting quote:
"
I wouldn't advise competing with Google in things they're good at. So what is Google good at? As a first approximation, making things their own developers use at work. So they'll do a better job on an online calendar than a video sharing site, for example, because their employees are probably not supposed to be sitting watching videos at work.
"
He goes on to mention Google's size, which is probably another factor here.
It would be interesting to hear more about what folks at Y-Combinator think about this direct assault on a growing Google service.
- ivankirigin 19y agoI should justify my comments -- I only spent 2 minutes on versionate and plan to come back to try more.
- pg 19y agoIt's an indirect assault.
- budu3 19y agoYeah. I think PG might have changed his stance a little by backing these guys.
