> It's basically just a new type of search result ad...
It makes me wonder how many of their other "verticals" will soon be, or already are, basically just a new type of ad. Flights? Restaurants? It's important to remember that the average person probably isn't aware that these are even ads.
Ugh. It's a shame that Google wasn't satisfied with just being a $1B company that made a kick-ass search engine and sold tasteful ads next to the results. Instead, they're trying to get a taste of every part of the economy. Does anyone else remember the company that kicked Alta Vista's ass?
That ownership structure turns the company into a psychopath. Do anything for profit, sue to protect yourself and always bully with your size if you can.
This is not a socially acceptable way to be towards others.
