The End in Mind » I’ve Seen the Future and the Future is Us (Using Google)

  • I use Google Advanced Search as this enables me to use a more refined search immediately. My search successes are probably about 95%. IMHO search is not about better search engines. No search engine will compensate for woolley thinking. Ie the search engine is only as good as the research skills/ability to enter appropriate parameters of the searcher.
  • I've been thinking about Google Wave and about the success of Google in general. My impression has come to be that Google literally lets their vision drive their company instead of the other way around.

    Instead of using a more traditional approach. making a new product that pushes current boundaries and then territorially defending those boundaries (even hindering or damaging other ventures and ideas in your defense), as Microsoft has been known to do, Google takes aim at extending boundaries for no other apparent motivation than to better the internet experience. Their vision is to change how we connect, how we communicate. They let that vision drive their product decisions, such as making Google Wave a protocol as well as an application, so that it will have a far greater reach and effect than just slapping a brand on a new technology, apply patents and copyrights, then marketing and defending your turf.
