----------------------------------------Google started as the white page search engine with one aim in life fast download of that first google page and fast results. It's now de facto search engine and part of the language like Hoover This is great this is what the Intenet Users want. Then that sniff of first money and then the IPO and now it begins to smack of Big Brother a la Microsoft and it's phone home licensing. It's a fine line Google beware No one will allow you world domination of that you can be guaranteed. If you are subtle you may get away with it for a few years until someone notices but this is bare faced cheek  Your thoughts on having all of your eggs in the one (shopping) basket Dave  |
