Aw… Yes… And it wasn’t that long ago when the big question around here was “Cool technology, but how is Google ever going to make money?”
So IBM reigned for 30 years (1950-1980), Microsoft for 14 years (1984-1998), Google for 6 or 7 (2001-present)? That means their time is almost up. If Moore’s Law continues this trend, that leaves a couple years for Chinese Pod.
We had YouTube, but Google bought that out.
Now we have Google Video, which is already better than YouTube.
And get ready, coming soon to a website near you … it’s GPod … !.!.!
(Sorry, I must be bugging out) :>
“Google’s Run is More Than Half Done”
James,
It looks like Mitch Ratcliffe agrees with you. He writes: “Extrapolating from that trend [shown in the IBM - Microsoft – Google timeline] … Google in 2007 has a year or two of dominance left.”
Best line in his post: “Google’s time is shorter than anyone is ready to acknowledge, as everyone is too busy trying to figure out how to profit from working with Google. That’s the wrong place to be focused, if you want to build your business on stable ground.”
You can find it at:

Whew! Glad that one went away so fast!
So what’s after google then? CPod’s in the running, but what’s the competition?
Delta, thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen it yet.
The Google successor may or may not have already appeared on the scene. Will it be Web 2.0, whatever that really is? I’m not convinced. Maybe the Web 2.0 succussor? It might even be a dotcom failure that fizzled out before its time.
How does the name “Goosoft” sound to you?
As Google “attempted to extend its shadow over every facet of the digital world …. Microsoft and Google eventually merged, forming the trillion dollar Goosoft, which hosts and provides on demand services covering 80 percent of global Internet usage.”
