Have you ever noticed how Google copies every little trend and fad? Yahoo was the best search engine, Google over powered them. Yahoo had the best email, Google came out with Gmail. Skype had the best chat/voice system, so Google came out with Google chat (their own version of voice/chat). Facebook was/is the best social networking site, now Google has Google +

I think it’s not really being a copycat but Google is aiming for domination. Their motto is something like if they can do it then we can do it better. And they are proving that since you have mentioned Googles taking over the number 1 spot in search engines. But they did that with hard work and maybe a little luck. With other industries like the video chat facility, again it is hard work on their part. Google’s competition with other companies produce better results for the public’s benefit.

Yea, I totally agree with you.Google is like those people that wait for one to invent anything and what they do is to work on your mistakes to capitalize on it to dominate you.They don't just want to compete with you but dominate.But on the flip side I just love google products, it should be done in such a way that one gets addicted to it, it excellently done with no defect for another to point out or try to work on it.This is to say whatever one invent he or she should always upgrade to meet times, trends and fads.Yea, I totally agree with you.Google is like those people that wait for one to invent anything and what they do is to work on your mistakes to capitalize on it to dominate you.They don't just want to compete with you but dominate.But on the flip side I just love google products, it should be done in such a way that one gets addicted to it, it excellently done with no defect for another to point out or try to work on it.This is to say whatever one invent he or she should always upgrade to meet times, trends and fads.
