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.

It wasn’t too hard to get an idea – I use a handy little web-site called voo2do and I’ve been thinking about messing with their API for a while. Well, now I got my chance. read more
