We all think of Google as this huge, dynamic, and a generally damn near omnipotent commercial machine but the truth is somewhat less glamorous. An excellent summary in Dana Blankenhorn’s blog lays it out …
“Google is at its best when it concentrates on something, concentrates hard, concentrates intense energy on making that one thing extremely useful, and most of all, different.” “So far Google has done this twice, once with its basic search service, and again with AdSense. It is long past time for Google to pare its product line, decide what might work, and make sure it does.”
