So keep your eyes open folks, you never know when it is going to happen!

Imagine if every time you used Google they put 20% of the revenue that your usage generates into an account for you.

They would STILL be making 20 cents on the dollar after taxes for every dollar of revenue they bring in.

“Someone remind me … why do we want something to kill Google? It does everything I need it to do, and I don’t have to pay for it.”

Assuming that Google isn’t replaced by something that does what we need and pays US for it, Google may be killed by becoming less useful.

How would that happen? The same way so many other things (email, Ebay, etc.) have been made less useful – the spammers and scammers.

The spammers and scammers already litter the back pages of Google results on many searches I’ve done. When they figure out how to game the system enough that the front pages will start to be populated with junk, Google will be in trouble.

Google has the advantage of tremendous resources, but also the disadvantage of having to try to keep a massive system running and useful while adapting to the ever-changing attacks of those gaming the rankings system.

My irony detector hasn’t budged so I suspect they mean it.
