Web 2.0 Week: Google

• Dirty Geek, Google Empire

Ah, Google. Everybody knows this small page, simple, stupid, even ugly, and that however generates millions everyday.

At first sight, Google has nothing to do with Web 2.0, but Google is growing at the speed of light and is evolving towards it. You had Google Search, you now have Google Mail, Google Maps and so on and so forth. Without considering the websites Google lately bought such as YouTube, the most popular video website in the world.

And Google doesn't stop here. Lately, Google launched its own free online office applications, which is a real declaration of war to Microsoft, so far number 1 in software sales, but in a worse and worse shape against the rise of Apple and the development of multimedia giant Adobe.

So, after Google Earth and this quote comparing Google to God, are we gonna have Google Empire?
