I just figure there's so much more to "do right" than simply grab for more advertising. I know theres much more for them to do. ;) Yup, I agree, it’s all great stuff and I use it probably as much as you do.

People only hate them because it's trendy to hate them, and as much as everyone does hates them, most of what they do is awesome, and very consumer-friendly.. if it wasn't, they wouldn't be so huge. This is the same way I feel about google. When google does something, they do it right.. thats whats so great! As long as I can search on google.com, find directions on google maps, talk to someone on google chat, and manage ALL of my email addresses from one gmail account, <strong>all for free</strong>, I have no beef with what google was doing, is doing, or will do! I love Microsoft.

Microsoft never innovates but ends up catching up pretty quickly (MSN Search is a prime example). Stefano, I'm all about making money! But when you disappoint me, the person that Google relies on to look at an click on ads, then they won't make money. ;) Jon, yeah, I sometimes wonder about that. Stockholders will do that to ya...

I would. This is business. Wel, to be honest if you owned Google, wouldn’t you also try and make as much money as possible? I would. This is business.

What about traffic conditions on google maps? That's both recent, and awesome.. up to the minute information that is organized! Though, it will be much more useful when its implemented <em>everywhere</em>! That’s some serious tough love.. What about traffic conditions on google maps?
