I do not believe ei ther that Google gives a preference to the Web sites which announce in its program of AdWords, or which i t moves away certain sites from the first pages to encourage them to a nnounce. I do not believe that Google tries some way that is to differently con trol their markets than in a normal ly competing way. And I do not beli eve that Google is really super-arm s military secret. I really believe that Google has good intentions. B ut these intentions continue to fri ghten me. Finally, which I think of Google is pure gamble, based on fa cts easily available, but this spec ulation on Google seems to be today the pastime of many people. It is not a wonder: after all, Goog le is simply the company more intri gante which has honoured our econom y for 10 years. I believe that Goog le has good intentions, but as good as they can be, the result of thei r success frightens me. The creator s of Google must be platonists If P lato always lived, it would probabl y work for Google. Google is in sea rch of ideal, even if this one is f inally inaccessible. With the diffe rence of the majority of the princi pal companies which make the titles of the financial newspapers, Googl e is not mainly justified by the mo ney. The motivation of Google is _the In tellectual_, overcoming the challen ges of organized information. Googl e known as: _The mission of Google is to organize world information an d to make it universally accessible and useful_. And it is what it doe s. This company quantified to sever al billion dollars, indisputably on e of most powerful in the world, ha s the goal simple to organize world information. Google is the vastest system of cat alogue of planet. Naturally, that d oes not want to say that Google doe s not have any motivation for the m oney - and it has certainly some. T he machine with under that is Googl e is the containing hydrocarbon one of its idealistic aspirations. Goo gle can concern more challenges, to bring more ressouces and it achiev es finally more thanks to this mone y. However the money never prevents the act collecting, organizing and from making information available, with contrario of Microsoft. Although the mission of Microsoft i s _to help the people and the compa nies to reach their full capacities _, this help is not free. The basic commodities of Microsoft are creat ed to be sold. It is the traditiona l model of the economic practices. Compared with this traditional mode l of business, that of Google is ve ry idealistic. That can be due to t he fact that Google was not created to make money, but rather in respo nse to the challenge that Sergey Br in and Larry Page set up by develop ing an effective search engine. To include/understand the new devel opments of Google Schmidt: _We work hard to keep this image to be out of control. But makes some, our com pany is very measured. And that bel onged to our secrecy. Page: _Genera lly, we do not speak about our stra tegy& because it is strategic. I pr efer to let believe that we are con fused rather than to make known wit h our competitors what we will do_. -- Extract of an interview of Time s Magazine Well, let be to me the f irst to congratulate _the Servant b oys_ on Google. Your objective to a ppear out of control was achieved. During these last years, Google lau nched several products which made t ype the head of the analysts agains t the walls. Several of these launc hings met either a thin approval, o r created a total confusion (it is not what Google is judicious to do? ). These products also seem to be r ather independent: products which m ake it possible to people to organi ze their planning (Google Calendar) , or to analyze the statistics of t heir Web sites (Google Analytics). The idea which prevails is that Goo gle launches these products like ma nner of improving the conscience of mark, to create other channels wit h their AdWords program, or even fo r simply launching something _to se e_ if it obtains a general approval (like Google SiteMaps). However, i f we look at these products in the light of their mission (to gather a nd organize world information), eac h product belongs to the total miss ion of Google. Finally, Google gath ers well information and in very gr eat part. From this moment only, Google can b egin its classification. Now Google seeks the information of the users , the latter request even for that. The majority of the new products o f Google store the information of t he users. If you use the program of tchat of Google, you can store all your conversations in a history wi th possibility of research. Google Finance stores information on your favorite stocks, on which you launc h a monitoring. GMail enables you to store until 3G B emails, you incentive thus uncons ciously not to remove them (it is p erhaps what Google wants?). Google Base was launched under the mysteri ous explanation that it was the pla ce where to subject and store your contents, any contents. Google Read er stores your histories of flow RS S, and now Google Calendar is integ rated into GMail and other services to give you the possibility of sto ring still more data thanks to Google. Google does not launch new products to improve the conscience of mark; it launches these new products to collect more information and to lea rn how all this information functio ns together. This information can b e related to a recorded user, and c an be extracted by using the variou s products from Google (such integr ation of Google Calendar in GMail). Up to which point I do want that G oogle knows? If we really live in t he era of information, then Google could become the most powerful enti ty of the world. Although I did not see any official study on the subject, I do not thi nk that whoever would be astonished by knowing that there is more the information stored at Google than a t any other company or multinationa l in all the human history. Even wi th all this information, Google see ks always more. The question that w e must be posed is only knowledge o f which sum of information can hold only one company. Let us be us opp osed if Google Wallet became a pers onal center of finance where you co uld manage your balances in the bud get, pay your invoices on line, and receive personalized financial rep orts/ratios (naturally all accessib le and integrated in Google Finance). Is this it towards what we move wit h Google while knowing a little bit too much about us? Each new produc t of Google is used to him to gathe r more information. Although this g oal to gather, organize and make av ailable this information to the who le world, is a rather innocent goal , do not should not put to us on pa use one moment: do we really want t hat Google achieves this mission?
