Yahoo Further Explains Tie-up With Google

Any business organizations who wish to work together and end up with 90% market share needs to be scrutinized. Google is not just a company, but an ecosystem that only Google can control. The marketplace doesn't set prices of ads...Google sets those prices with their complex algorythms.

Google Extends Its Web Search Lead

When does the Deptartment of Justice look into questions of monopoly? What market share does GOOG need to have to prompt an investigation? 65 %....no. 75%...closer! 80%...very close. 85% or more...yes!

Personally, I think Google search has earned every percentage of market share they receive.

But search still funds all other Google operations because they can't make profits on anything else.

Is Online Search Microsoft's Vietnam War?

Microsoft has lost the search war(s) to Google. The larger battle between the two giants is not search but the desktop, via word processing, spreadsheets, et al.

In the war of the desktop, Google is at a disadvantage in a bunch of way via Google Apps. The folks at Google have given hundreds of thousands of FREE versions of Google Apps and now most firms won't pay money for the service.

The worst part in the war of the desktop for Google is they suck at customer service because Google doesn't like talking to people. Just try and find ANY customer service phone number for Google on their web site.

There is no published customer service phone number for Google.

There isn't a software company with at least $10M in sales that doesn't publish tech support and customer support phone numbers on their web site.

Google also screwed the handsome revenue stream of Postini, an aquisition made just one year ago.

Google may own search, but they suck at making $$ on everything else.

Google may have the brightest people on the planet within their search team, but Google Enterprise is managed by a bunch of idiots.

Does Google Have a Weakness Microsoft Can Exploit?

MSFT has a lot to worry about with Google's search business. MSFT has nothing to worry about with Google Apps in the enterprise desktop market. Let Google win the search battles because they cannot find the right way to win the heart and soul of either small or large businesses. Google doesn't like to talk with business customers and this will be the ultimate downfall for GOOG.

Nobody wants to use products from a company that doesn't have a published customer service phone number to talk with 24/7/365.

Google has no customer service, period!
