>Usually I don't pay much attention to stuff like this but this caught my
>eye.
>Bill and I are good friends, even if he is part of the evil empire.
>I still remember the day, an ad exec, walked into this little office,
>with a million bucks in his hand, and offered those guys a million bucks
>to buy into that company. And everyone was totally blown away.
>He had to explain himself in the press the next day because everyone
>thought he was nuts.
>Everyone except a few people.
>Myself I was dismayed. I was dismayed by what he said.
>He said, that their are amazing demographics in them thar hills, and you
>will be able to do amazing demographic research, by seeing what it is
>people are searching for!
>It wasn't long after that that Micro and Soft, (an appropriately named
>company) came up with this idea of cookies, and a plethora of excuses to
>justify their existence.
>At any rate, 44 billion to buy that company is a lot of money.
>
>You know Google has always been one of MSofts' big competitors and they
>have tried all sorts of ways to get an edge on them, but they just never
>clued in.
>
>They never got it.
>I tried and I tried to tell Bill why they can't get past them, but he
>wouldn't listen.
>
>Google News period.
>It begins and ends there.
>
>And MSoft's email News attempt, just does not have the easy to use web
>interface, nor does it archive the news, so you can search it.
>
>Thats it.
>Thats all it is, thats all it ever was Bill.
>The leaders of the industry, use Usenet. The rest are just followers
>Bill.
>You should know that.
>
>And I will tell you something else.
>You do anything similar and they will be there in a heartbeat.
>Everyone hates Google worse than Microsoft.
>I have to use a different news reader right now, because it won't let me
>post.
>It is right now spamming on every page, yet everyone knows that is bad.
>They even have people sit there and edit your posts in real time some
>times.
>Well thats the thing isn't it?
>There are a lot of very big players trying to manage th eflow of
>information and they do that at the bottleneck, called Google.
>So you can take them on Bill. You have done it before.
>But will you actually get this message or again will you throw billions
>of dollars away?
>That is the question.
