new big brother

Google seems to make the news every other day. Starting off as a search engine that soon become eponymic for "search" itself. Then online tools/services like google translator, gmail,
google print, froogle Google maps. Google and Sun decided to join guns and Google office online is the expectation as a result. Google has now set its eyes on online buying and selling like eBay with Google Base. More surprises can be expected from Google. What if they finally merge with eBay and be called GooBay (a joke going around now). So it does look like Google is on a path to become a huge really huge. So is this our new big brother outrivalling Microsoft? Looks like it. Microsoft is trying to get back by focussing more on MSN, joining with Yahoo in its online book project and taking a pro-publisher stand unlike Google. Meanwhile Google shares are doing pretty well, similar to how microsoft did when it got listed.
