No one can stand and call me a "Google" lover. I wrote a couple of harsh posts about them in the past, and I publicly state my disagreement with many things they do.
still, I find that I got to stand up for their defense after reading another attack on the way they integrate their services into their search results.
Why shouldn't Google embed YouTube and Google Video videos into the search results? Why shouldn't they promote their own services over others (in a clear manner of course)?
It's their search engine. They spend a lot of money to make make it work, why they are not allowed to enjoy it?
It's their business. They are a public company. They need to earn money. This is their purpose in life(they lost the right to any other objective when they became public). Why shouldn't they use their own services to do it?
Common people, don't you think we all became a little too sensitive??
The only company that got the same reactions is Microsoft. Everyone said that putting Live search the default search engine in IE7 would be an unfair advantage to Microsoft.
But there is one big difference between Microsoft and Google. Microsoft was declared a Monopoly in court. Google didn't.
So yes... Maybe this is what we should do. Maybe we should declare Google a monopoly in the search business. And then they will not be allowed to use their search engine to promote other Google services. But until than... Hey. Stop crying foul all the time and simply fight them back.
