The Alchemy of Search

Jonah Stein of Alchemist Media is featured on today’s Brain Exchange at Context Web, addressing the question of “Is Google Too Powerful.” Here is a bit of his conclusion.

The real question is not “Is Google Too Powerful”. Google is clearly both extremely powerful and positioned to be even more powerful in the future. The real question is how will Google honor the great responsibility that comes with power when profits are not growing 50% per quarter; when times are tougher, decisions are not black or white, and the idealists who created the juggernaut have cashed in their options and move on.
