I came across one article so thought of sharing with u guys.. this has very controversial issues..Lets have a look..

1. That was fine when the search business was expanding at 30% or 40% a year, and Google's revenue was growing at twice that. Long-term projections for growth in the search business are more in the 15% to 17% range. Yet analysts estimate that 91% of Google's revenue still comes from the AdWords and AdSense business model that Google built around Page and Brin's breakthrough PageRank algorithm. Even more telling, an estimated 99% of its profit does too. This year's projected earnings growth of 18% is a third of what Google averaged over the past five years. A lot of companies would kill for that growth, but for technology companies, and Google in particular, those numbers don't impress.

2.Some investors also worry about Google's ability to keep pace with consumers' evolving use of the web. Say you want to buy running shoes to train for a marathon. Five years ago you would have simply Googled it, looked at the list of results, weighed your options, and made the purchase, perhaps by clicking on one of the sponsored links that accompanied your search. Today you might still do that, but increasingly you might pose the question "What running shoes should I buy?" to your friends on Facebook, or maybe write "Who knows about training for marathons?" on Twitter. By the time shopping service Groupon sends you (and 25 of your friends) an offer for the perfect shoes and registration for a race, you'll probably just pounce on it.

"Google is not the hot company anymore," says Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com (CRM). "Their stock has been mostly flat for five or six years now. How can you claim to be a leader with equity performance like that? That's starting to look like Microsoft or Yahoo (YHOO). They have to get into some other place, and quickly."

3.In this new phase of the web, one of the largest threats to Google and its core search business is the expanding Facebook footprint around the world. Not only because social networks (and those used for work like LinkedIn fall into that same category) offer a substitute for search for consumers, but also because they offer a substitute for advertisers as well. In display advertising, for example, Facebook has a 16% share of the roughly $9 billion market, according to comScore (Google sites have 2.4% of the market), and advertisers say they're looking for more ways to plug into Facebook.

What U guys think abt it??

Though there r rumour abt "Google Me"...That cud give more advantege over competition.. I guess Google has lots of assets they dont need to get scared but Internet is changing so fast so one social networking site cud be beneficial to Google otherwise Twitter and Facebook can take over large share of Google..
Even In china, Google has tough competition with Baidu.com which has 29% of market Share..

I don't buy the article's view. The way Google is integrated into people's lives is impressive. Their android OS is taking off in the mobile. They're all over the place: shopping, search, email, research, maps, mobiles. I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon.

Yahoo, on the other hand, is OVER, if you want to get dramatic. But even they're putting up a fight with FlickR.

I think Google should be renamed. It should be called "Googloo Moogloo". My Nani Ji used to call me that when I was very young. She used to say "Aja mera googloo moogloo!" :hug:

Is this guy kidding.. googles stock is flat.. because it has reached a high point.. and they dont believe in splitting the stock just like warren buffet and apple. .. this company is currently trading at $ 486..... 486 .. desipite of the economic downfall in the market company has mantained a stable revenue stream.. the price shows the strength of the company and faith investors have in it

Kudrat Ji

This is my understanding of the hidden Google.

Whilst I agree with what you have written and believe it is wealthy enough to survive in the future the worry I have with Google is its determined efforts in dominating the media industry and curbing free speech through unfair bending of rules that in turn could lead to a two tier internet provision.

Today the Internet is an information highway where anybody – no matter how large or small, how traditional or unconventional – has equal access. But the phone and cable monopolies, who control almost all Internet access, want the power to choose who gets access to high-speed lanes and whose content gets seen first and fastest. They want to build a two-tiered system and block the on-ramps for those who can't pay.

The Internet was designed to empower users. Its open, "end-to-end" architecture means that users—not network providers or anyone else—decide what succeeds or fails online. It's a formula that has worked incredibly well, resulting in mind blowing innovation, incredible investment, and more consumer choice than ever. The deal Google is trying to do with Verizon will blow a hole through all of that.

It is interesting that a company with a corporate motto “Don’t be evil,” Google has an unfortunate capacity to look past the most obvious things.

Google wants to ensure, whatever the cost to the future development and independence of the Internet, its own dominant, and free riding, position. However, it is trying or wishing to ignore the unwritten agreements of net neutrality; this is because it is pursuing a position of domination; a bit like Microsoft has a dominant role as far as Windows is concerned.

Furthermore its approach to the problem of copyright infringement also calls into question the company’s high-mindedness. In the case of Viacom v. YouTube, Google is accused of flagrant violation of copyrighted material on the website of its YouTube subsidiary. In its complaint Viacom makes a compelling case that the takedown process is an endless loop of notifications and re-postings, and that, in fact, copyright infringement is at the heart of YouTube’s business plan.

Copyright infringement is a crime against copyright holders. But the subterfuge involved does not allow the layperson the understanding of what is actually going on. Much might be usefully clarified if the dispute goes all the way through trial.

In any case, the point is that, as with net neutrality, Google’s posture regarding copyright infringement seems to be driven more by its own interests than by any sense of a community of interests.

The Media Institute, which is primarily an American First Amendment organization, Google’s lack of any meaningful concern or action regarding freedom of speech and of the press is the most troubling aspect of the company. The MI would not have this concern if Google were just a small affair, or if the legacy media were fat and sassy. But neither is the case. Google is a giant while newspapers, for instance, are in a fight for their very survival.

It would also be true to say that the market values Google more than it values Time Warner, Disney, Washington Post, New York Times, Gannett, and McClatchy put together!

To rub salt into the wound, the most important players in promoting and defending the First Amendment have been Hollywood and newspapers. Yet these are two industries much beleaguered by the Internet, of which Google is the leader.

Against this background one might expect a company determined not to be evil to mount a major effort, if not in assistance to the old media, then in lending a hand in promotion of the First Amendment. Sorry to say, Google’s record in this regard is a blank slate.

So is Google “evil?” the jury is out!!

@ London Punjabiji.. yeah u have really pointed out very nice points.. but these r more related to business ethics.. I agree that Google's Proposal with Verizon for Net Neutrality Where they r giving stress over "open Internet" will be more result in "private internet." and will give Google more dominance over internet industry.and same is in case Viacom..
But u know Sometimes Big Companies try to go after profit and leaving their principles behind..and and ur last point needs good debate too that how Google can generate billions of revenues over the information which it has never created..

I really appreciate ur post I think, We can take out three post out of your Post and can have good debate over it..
I find ur post more interesting then this Article .. =D> =D>
