I think I have to return to my blog more often. Twitter is more aggravating than normal today. I am wondering if I have more computing power in my garage than Twitter has to run their service. From what I see most days, I think that is the case.
Anyway, I was going to Tweet on the Consumer Watchdog's commentary on Google's arguments to the Dep't of Justice as to why it is not a monopoly. And while I was waiting for Twitter to load, and waiting, (it's still trying to draw the Web page, mind you) I was thinking that anti-competitive behavior has probably gotten to technical and subtle for government review. Which, is why they often focus on the end points of market share before they put their foot into it.
Google is most likely feeling the "Microsoft Effect." That is, what it is like to be a giant on the Internet -- everyone comes gunning for you. And when that happens, let's hope that Google's PR does not get better than their technology. If so, we'll have to go find another search engine that finds something besides what everyone else found on the Internet.
