With the launch of Google Chrome (7pm UK time) the circle is now complete and Google IS the Internet. Of course this isn’t quite true but Google has amassed a huge amount of control over our lives – it’s fair to say if Google had a massive system failure the Internet would grind to a halt.
I can open up my Google Chrome browser and search Google to find information on something, up comes a Google Knol result which gives me the information I required.
Next I load up Blogger and write a blog post about the subject and include a few images stored in my Picasa photo album.
Perhaps I need to read a few blog posts using Google Reader or check my emails on Gmail. Later on I might read all the news headlines via Google News and then watch a few videos on YouTube.
In fact a lot of people could spend an entire day online without ever wandering off a Google property.
The only thing chink in Googlenet armour is mobile (soon to be fixed when Android launches) and social – will Google buy Facebook, Myspace or somehow figure out how to get everybody using Orkut?
