and, so far, they suck at it.
search with ads is their core product, ages old.
gdocs for enterprise makes some money.
wave, glass, car - pie in the sky, detached from any real product or monetization strategies.
once search tanks, and the trends in mobile are pointing in that direction, how will google finance their DARPA? PARC did not save Xerox, HP Classic is broken up and gone, MS R&D is another sinkhole with no output...
They can't even handle acquisitions. Android is slipping away, Nest is a disaster, etc.
Focus is really hard once you scale.
- kamaal 11y agoSearch is still very very big, we might just be at the very beginning of it. Search doesn't mean finding something on a website. Search means finding music, places,<meaning full information> etc . And they are doing great with things like Youtube, Maps, Gmail, Hangouts etc. >>once search tanks, and the trends in mobile are pointing in that direction That won't happen any time soon, not even in the foreseeable future.. The nearest competitor to Google is Bing, and that is joke. >>They can't even handle acquisitions Which ones? Youtube, Maps, Android ... >>Android is slipping away Android is going to put Google in the position Microsoft was in the 90's and early 2000's. Android is running away with the market in countries like China and India. Google has a lot of time at their hands. Unless they start making very big mistakes over years consistently, they will do fine.
