The Googy Product Monster
Going to be 33C degrees today, and Nick Carr has an expansive stream guessing at Google's 5 consolidated products, with "features" as subset. Contrast this with the 1.0 google 20% model, in which decentralised cells launch new verticals and standalone products (greader, gpersonalised home, orkut, gfinance etc)
Adsense is brilliant, but in terms of product development, Google is still going to end up in 2-3 years where Yahoo is today and covered with Peanut Butter. As long as they keep earnings growth up !
ROUGH TYPE'S 5 GOOGLE PRODUCTS GUESS
Google Search ("Google" goes back to meaning just search: for all information types, on all devices, personalized)
AdMarket (a unified market place for buyers and sellers, spanning web text, web video, web banners, print, radio, TV)
YouTube (YouTube expands from video to become the common interface for all media sharing)
YouTools (what Apps for Your Domain morphs into, with different tool sets for businesses, families, universities, and hospitals)
YouFile (a personal information management service, covering health data, finances, etc.)
