Hm. Thanks! I'll give you 1, but I'm not sure about 2. I guess if there's a pattern of lawsuits over licensing, but isn't a lawsuit what you resort to if someone uses your patented process without licensing?

What you're forgetting is that social networks are a threat to Google's primary business because they offer better signals for/an alternative to search. I think the strategic play for Google is own all the social signals, or at least have t
