Has everyone been following what google has been doing lately? There's a good article in the Toronto Star today that summarizes what they've been up to lately

So what do you think, is google going too far? Are they getting into too many different projects?
I generally like google. They've got something good in their philosophy statement about how you don't have to be evil to do business. I like that. The copyright stuff is a little concerning though.

I've been receving the WebPro News pretty much daily, and it seems everyday Google is starting a new project. I also like Google, (although my home page is Yahoo - my parent's choice *rolls eyes*) but I feel they need to take on one thing at a time, or they are going to get in too deep and end up going crazy. My site is nowhere near Google, but even I just tackle one project a time. Once I finish one, I move onto the next, not all at once, or I'll just get confused and tired.

Its scary how fast they are growing but its nice to know there is a major company out there that isnt stabbing backs (like microsoft). I just dont see a mojor company called "google", sounds like a childs toy.

well, google tells its people tp spend 70% of their time on the search engine and the other 30% on their "special project".
You see google's sated goal is to organise the world's information.
the 30% of their time is devoted to orgainising the world's information in other ways apart from the money making search engine. I.e google earth - orgainising the world's satelight photos in an easy to use manner, picture search, organising the web's pictures. Best of all these odd projects are usually free to use!
Go google go!

Here is a idea, they could charge $10 for a listing in their search engine. They could make some serious cash from people listing their sites.
HAHA,
Working on some sites that are of better quality!

It's possible they're overstepping their portfolio in some ways. I don't see how Google Talk, for instance, is related to information retrieval. I still think in terms of retrieval rather than organisation - regardless what their official line is - since "organisation" is far too ambiguous and wide-reaching for me.
Surely you mean $100000000000000000000000000000000.
