Ok, so this is a “retweet” of PCWorlds article aboout how the google account of a Twitter employee(s) was hacked a while ago. Since you can access nearly all of your google accounts with a single login this caused quite a chain of events. Not only was some of the individuals gmail accounts compromised but also google docs and The Business Insider has screenshots of some of the information that was compromised. Now in the article they mention that no twitter accounts were compromised due to this breach only some twitter employees personal accounts.

Google Sheds Beta

In what was most likely a strategic business move, Google has shed the Beta tag off of their Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk applications. The tag of shame has most likely been removed so that they will appear more attractive to businesses who pay $50 a year per user to use these applications.
Dropping the Beta tag off of these applications is more than just a way to appear more attractive to businesses it’s also a step that must be taken before the Chrome OS is released in the second half of 2010. The OS will be released for netbooks and will be aimed toward the average user who surfs the web, writes email, or edits documents all of which can be on online with Google products.

Final Thoughts on Google

The firestorm around Google seems to be dying down quite a bit. Here’s an article written a couple weeks ago during the frenzy about Google and their big ideas. The author has some interesting points about what constitutes a big idea and what does not. Whether or not Google will continue to succeed is an open question, but suffice it to say, the ‘me-too’ style of business growth is usually not overwhelmingly successful.
The Future of Google

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.
