i know that
google is supposed to be the enemy, but it's hard not to like it. today, the company released google personal, which is basically google's take on my.yahoo.com, except much better. i've already personalized my page with gmail, weather, stock market, slashdot, wired news, driving directions, and google news. as much as i would like to use exclusively msn stuff, google is constantly releasing kick-ass services. take blogger, for example - its integration with hello make blogging a snap. keyhole's integration with google maps, local search, scholar, froogle....the company just keeps rolling-out elegantly-designed, easy-to-use, online services. now i don't think google is going to be coming out with any OSes or server software any time soon (wouldn't count it out though, no matter how outrageous the idea is), but i would hate to have to compete with these guys from the yahoo or msn end. by the way, google personal will be complete once they add sections for wikipedia, babelfish, and zabasearch.
