IMO goog isnt that great

They have hired a crap ton of people that do who knows what, they release a ton of 'products', but the only one that has caught on is search ( perhaps gmail too ).

Google search was revolutionary at its time, but now it is not noticeably better than yahoo or ask.com, of course everybody uses google tho out of habit so that is worth something, but who knows when the next grad student will come along and revolutionize search again and google will be left behind.

Also Text ads are overrated imo, seriously, I think a large % of clicks on these are accidents or scams.

I think it's prospects for growth in no way justify a 60 PE, but whether to sell or not i dont know, its hard to predict the crowd

Good post.

Another poster said that google is basically the Microsoft of the web. IMO, the difference between the two is that it's bigger deal for us non-techies to change Operating Systems as opposed to seach engines. If Google disappeared tomorrow, I'd just go to another search engine and type into that box.
