And it hooks in such a way that you don't want to do it with less powered engines (such yahoo or bing). It's a question of choice, a personal choice. No one goes to google just because they have no other option. There was a time where microsoft tryed to impose Live search in all the ways the could (that's in IE, messenger and staff) and people had to fight it to go google. I keep using google because no other option has been even close to what google does in terms of displaying relevant info.

But then I also comment to myself that they are so big and so dominant b/c they do such a good job in so many areas of their products and service offerings. They may solutions that are easily accessible for a lot of people and that helps them build more and more dominance. Google's consumer and business solutions perform really well and they are rewarded for that with greater market share. Google's solutions and execution are pretty darn solid. As you astutely point out though, none of that is guaranteed. .-= Jake Matthews´s last blog ..<a href="http://jakematthews.blogs.com/jake_matthews/2009/07/friday-in-july-nyc-7pm.html" rel="nofollow">Friday in July, NYC, 7pm</a> =-.

They do their best, hope it works so everyone can do what they love and make some money and if they rise to fame than so be it. If anyone of us would have launched Google and had it's success would want the same thing, to keep growing. Most of the people that complain about Google are upset they are not in the drivers seat. This is the way of the world, lead follow or get out of the way. .-= Nick Stamoulis´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.searchengineoptimizationjournal.com/2009/07/30/latency-rankings/" rel="nofollow">How Latency May Affect Your Web Rankings</a> =-.

Micro-hoo have a good argument in their favour, that htey are potentially breaking google's search monopoly, though all the systems involved in the deal have been there already - all the deal does is to bring them all together. Given Bing ahoo have such small search share, there alliance will not be a problem for the EU competition comissioner.

Its only when this dominace is connected with something else like ads, or the dubious book scanning etc, that the EU will begin to grind their teeth. When Google releases its OS I'm sure both the US and the EU will start to question Googles dominance in the information gathering field. It will be a little much with a OS, webbased software and all search and information storage controlled by a single company. A company version of 1984. .-= Andreas Nurbo´s last blog ..<a href="http://andreasnurbo.com/130/new-gwo-plugin-released" rel="nofollow">New version of GWO plugin released</a> =-.
