The collective web minds are finally getting bored with Google! In my mind, Google has killed the internet star. I miss the days when I would open up Netscape and click the 'What's Cool' link to find interesting stuff on the Web! And so it begins. The collective web minds are finally getting bored with Google!

Extending this to include charts for UK/Bourse/DAX would be a significant step in the right direction for users. Putting the blog posts immediately after MSM listings would be more helpful. Reducing the size of the ridiculously large graphs would also help. And they did extensive internal testing? Like you I'm lukewarm - I really want to know where the GOOG business model fits.

They have the top one search engine, I think. It can be used to orginazed all different kinds of information, like wabpages, emails, newsgroups, forums, blogs, news, chatting records, videos, books. Now it is finance, most profitable side. I guess Google may or will purchase some finance services provider, to provide stock transaction online without commission, or with very low commission. This will be huge crash on Wall Street. I just have a image in my mind about Google's empire.

As I said over on Battelle's blog, this is Game On. This marks a significant move for GOOG, and every other vertical should be taking this as a wake-up call. Why? Well, beyond the move to content creation, it marks the first serious move into portal-esque behaviour, where the eyeballs stay inside Google's tent. The big message here is that it says that they are willing to take the search revenue hit in a big category in order to try to build their own audience. For one, travel players must be terrified - this is the signal they and others no doubt have been waiting for, and hoping would never come. This is really big. - Stuart Mark, I think you are really underestimating the significance of this move. As I said over on Battelle's blog, this is Game On.
