Google can disappear tomorrow and Bing, Blekko and DDG can take over. Webmasters will get more traffic since all have way less ads than Google, and that's about it.
You know what happened after the fall of the Roman empire, do you?

Google sends me to sites all the time
The trend is your friend, but understand that ads look similar to normal results to many people.
I'm also not aware of accusations that advertisers affect results.)
Use your imagination or ask Larry and Sergey what they mean by it,

Sorry, I mean search market share was declining. Gmail is #
to Hotmail and Yahoo, despite all the hype.
Can G out-Microsoft Microsoft in Office? I doubt it. Analytics and everything else is subsidized by search.

Without Google, Ytbe would be sued to oblivion, and if it's making money it can't be that much.
Android would last a couple of hours without Google's tens of billions in protection. Isn't it free anyway?
Revenue vs earnings matter on Adsense. Their pay and inventory is linked to the power of Google.
So in the end Google has, search.

If you're countryX and want to bring down everything, hacking sites like mysql, apache, kernel and the likes would do the most damage

Search makes no money at all. But adsense does.
Adsense relatively makes little since they pay most to site-owners, whatever they call the ads on Google make the money. After 11 years has, Google has what, other than search?

That's the old Google you're talking about.

Google has G Analytic and now G+. Logged in or not they have the IP.
But the chart is about time spent online

"The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users," so let's make some more money. Let's not send visitors to sites anymore! Brilliant!

That's the risk every entrepreneur takes. Next time you need a job you have have a 10 year 'gap' in your resume.
Other than founding Google, their supposedly big ideas are just on gambling shareholder's money and make more money via Google in suspicious way. Search still makes 97% of their money, Android was * from others and market share is being lost to Microsoft.

Minus 3 for telling the truth? Shows why Google is in such pathetic shape, Google employees spend all day doing nothing.

Interesting, in light of Google's real name policy.
FB 1 - G =0 for now?

Maybe but they'll get promotion within facebook. Lots of users and they can always split if FB goes under.

"With the tablet, Amazon is a follower. That’s never as good."
Unless you sell it for half a price is good enough for most people.
itswindy | 14 years ago | on: Editorial: Facebook’s new sharing is anything but ‘frictionless’
Why so many (negative about) FB stories in front? I guess since Google can't Pandafi Facebook, copy their model and drive them out of business or manually give them a penalty they do this. Even monopolies have their limits apparently.
Google employees: Why not go and add a few more dozen ads on pages, there's still more room. Make Larry happy!

I want to join just so I can have Scoble on my circles!! Add him, take a screenshot, print it and then show it to kids on the neighborhood. Now that's a status symbol
;)

I almost joined, by accident. If you are signed in Gmail or adsense and go there all it takes a button to click.
Posting on it and is a different story, I'm sure.

"All of life has been utterly, profoundly changed thanks to Facebook..."
Ummmm...not mine. I use it sometimes but total posts under a dozen. Google knows way more than FB about me but that's changing little by little.
'Usual' hackers are probably a step above script kiddies. On the top end you have state sponsored PHDs
