The Future of Google

By Eric Shull  //  Blog Post  //  2 Comments

For those of you who want to argue that Google is doing just fine (ahem), I refer you to some new articles on the subject. Google may not be in the trouble I originally blogged about, but this article generalizes the difficulties it faces in terms of past internet giants like AOL, and this article reiterates the Twitter Threat discussed in the first article. As I recall, somebody and somebody else have been writing Ubiquity scripts to let them search specific sites from any webpage. Dare I say it, but I think people are finding alternatives to searching with the Old Ways.

Tom’s remarks about One Login to Rule Them All, however, is still valid. I won’t take that away from him.

    Lol, OpenID is the solution not the Google! Also, to touch on the ubiquity comment, those are ways to search for content that is on an already established site. How did I find that site? I searched for computer parts in google. If you’re going to argue that point with ubiquity you could also argue it with software like Launchy and Gnome-Do. So yeah, I think there may be a point when the number of “searches” per day on google levels off but I highly doubt google won’t get their hands in the alternative avenues as well. Heck, Google could buy Launchy,Gnome-Do and Ubiquity/Mozilla. Should be an interesting next 5-10 years!
