Google swing back? I doubt it. Once they crossed over into a billion+ company, their mission became to be a billion+ company. That they still organize the world's information, or claim to do whatever they did in the past, is just momentum that will bleed off. They make money. That's all they do. Nothing wrong with that, but they're never going to be what they were. Their future is to be General Electric, or Comcast, or HP in their declining years. The difference between HP and Google is acceleration; the days of Bill and Dave are remembered wistfully, as they were not there for the decline and destruction. The days of Page Rank and Labs and excitement are dead and gone, as are the human days of Lestat, never to return.
