It seems as if some people believe that this blog is responsible for every dip in Google share price of late.
If that's the case, it wasn't my intention.
My bad.
Here's where I'm coming from. One of my companies runs a number of fairly popular sites and continues to add one or two new ones per year. So my perspective is that of an entrepreneur trying to deal with a situation where one big player basically controls access to 80% of the online market.
I simply want more competition from Yahoo, Dogpile, Excite, etc. in terms of not only gaining more of the search pie but also of providing competition to Adwords and Adsense.
If my rants have pounded G's stock down, then investors have my sincerest apologies.
Expect a letter from my attorneys.

You really think Google investors read your little blog? They could care less about the little people such as yourself.

Looks like someone needs to replace the batteries in his Sarcasm-o-Meter.

Great point! Let's hope someone smart will step in and quarter back a good alternative to adwords.
There is also the emergence of cost-per-action models and cost-per-call....which is gonna be interesting with the whole VoIP thing.

personally, i like adbrite (http://www.adbrite.com) as a less evil alternative to adsense.
