Is Google going to overtake all internet's free services? :)

Pavarr · 11-17-2005, 09:37 AM

Look at us: when it comes to mail - we use GMail. When it comes to netsearch - we use Google. When it comes to locating something - we use Google Maps. When it comes to read news - we use Google News. When it comes to look for or create discussion group - we use GoogleGroups. When it comes to dropping a bomb on some Iraqi terrorists, USA government uses Google Earth... (well, pretty sunsure about that last one)

So, is Google going to own all the internet's quality free services? I think it is a bit... possible at all.

No because there are other services out there. Just because Microsoft makes Windows doesn't mean that their Operating system owns the entire world.

Yes, there's plenty of competition, and people that advocate for them. It can seem a bit one-sided reading here in Google Community,
but there are forums based on other services where the "G" word is seldom used.

Furthermore, it would be best if Google would NOT monopolise the market. We benefit thanks to competition.
And although there are few Google zealots here certainly, I believe the staff behind the site are not among them...

BTW...yeah, I like few Google services, tools and apps...but there are also some not that great. Besides I like Flickr very much (Yahoo) and del.icio.us

I'd also want Google not to take over all the internet services 'cause - as said zima their competition is our gain, but the Google is nearby the search services hegemony, it can happen to it's other tools.

I hadn't asked if we are going to benefit from Google's hegemony, but if it is possible.

I dont mind if google do take over the internet.

But I will still have Windows XP and Microsoft Office.

Unless Googles Brings Out An OS and an Office kinda thing!!

All right, the GoogleOS is as pretty unreal as GoogleOffice. At all, what's it to be, a search engine or a bigger, better (sniff, maybe not, who knows) Micro$sof?

But, however I use Windows, I use OpenOffice instead of MO.

All the post are very true.. A big fish eats smaller fishes... Google is eating the whole internet FREE Services....

I have to believe that Google won't be taking over everything. I think most folks will use Google services like I do. I have Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail, and my work mail. I use Google as a sort of nexus to organize everything. I think a lot of folks go with a mixed-mode approach.

Either way, I agree that there's a lot of competition for free internet services. If you don't believe me, just Google for them!
