I though that Wave would be a revolution but 1 year later it doesn't look like as revolutionary. It doesn't really matter because I am completely sure that something new will come better and the expirience will be use as a process of learning.

I agree that Google's business model is quite unique. <br /><br />I also feel like it puts tremendous focus on its products because they feed back into the adverts. If people love Google and want to use it for everything they do, chances are there will be some successful ad revenues there, as well. <br /><br />I believe this is a large part of why Google's the world's number one brand right now, and if it can continue to do so, it will continue to have marked success for the foreseeable future.<br /><br />http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1_____en___US390&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=google+number+one+brand+world (About the #1 brand claim.)Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148146785844410890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-91607285014338883542010-08-06T05:16:11.532-07:002010-08-06T05:16:11.532-07:00The only reason why Google can afford to work like...The only reason why Google can afford to work like this is because the company does not make its living from its products.

I'm sorry Google's mentality offends you; I agree that it can sometimes hurt to feel like one of the "little people." <br /><br />On the other hand, I take heart in knowing that Google has enough courage to pull the plug on failing projects, while admitting its failure. As a former business finance undergrad, I can tell you that the large majority of business ideas fail. Miserably. MS Kin, anyone? It's difficult to forecast what people as complex and diverse as humans will value on a large scale.<br /><br />Google's in it <i>(business)</i> to make a profit for its shareholders, even if that means some people fail to realize their own expected Nirvana, as a secondary byproduct.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148146785844410890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-81219388093844098742010-08-06T04:32:43.938-07:002010-08-06T04:32:43.938-07:00Hmmm ... what I learn from my mistake :
