Move Over Microsoft, Meet the New Threat - Google

[DudeAsInCool]

Instead of embracing Google as one of their own, many in Silicon Valley are skittish about its size and power. They fret that the very strengths that made Google a search-engine phenomenon are distancing it from the entrepreneurial culture that produced it - and even transforming it into a threat.

The big difference is Google produces the same user friendly services and applications that Microsoft does, but the quality is a lot better. Their programmers are far more talented.

They have a base. Keep it simple, keep it witty, and never stop exploring new possibilities. They’re not notorious copy cats who tack useless shit onto already existing good ideas.

Google isn’t like Microsoft.
