After conquering the ether with their wildly successful search engine, Google was not content. This was not enough. And so Google accomplished a feat most other companies can only comprehend the notion of fathoming, even in their wildest chemically-induced slumbers. Not only do they make their brand a household name, but the company now lives on forever as part of... the dictionary. No, not that dictionary, this one.
But the never ending checklist of despotism was nowhere near completion. The two gaping holes in gOOgle had to be filled. Where to start? How about buying YouTube, the 3rd most visited website in the world (guess what's at number one?). *tick* And what about revolutionising webmail with the miraculous Gmail? *tick* Preponderating the online world's thoughts by acquiring their blogging service? *tick*.
Yet the hungry beast can not be satisfied. It wants to dominate the browser market, the ad market *tick*, the phone market, the OS market and Schmidt knows how many others. Wait...no. No it couldn't be...is it?.
Will Google monopolize the web and ergo the world like it has monopolised search?
I have no idea.
