There's only one problem with Google - Monopoly!!!

I will try and keep this relatively brief and simple as it really doesn’t need to be long and complicated and I am sorry if you have heard it all before and you think I am some sort of socialist or radical George Carlin type nutter, but after reading yet again all the usual stuff you do after yet another Google update whereby most the world of ecommerce and IM is arguing back and forth the argument for this and the argument for that in regards to the latest particular situation, yap, yap, yap, please enough, I feel if I don’t say it to someone I will scream.

There’s only one problem with Google and it’s not it’s panda or penguin updates or the fact it banned your adsense account or delisted your site or whatever, the problem is that it has gone so far past the point of being a complete and total monopoly it isn’t even funny, I mean come on what do any of us expect, of course entire businesses and lively hoods are going to get wiped out over night both those who deserve to be and those who don’t, they have the monopoly, what do we expect? And it’s not something we should be having to even make a case or argument for, it should be known to virtually everyone that monopoly is never good for anyone, not the small business, not the IM and certainly not the users, consumers, or public in general, monopoly never serves the people, it only ever serves its self and it screws everybody eventually, there are no circumstances in which you want an uncompetitive market that is virtually entirely controlled by one company, not even if it’s serving you well at present, even if you are one of the people who are currently benefiting you still don’t want it. Sure you may be in favour now or approve of what they are currently doing but what are you going to do if and when you are not, what are you going to do then? What are you going to do if and when God starts abusing their power? Nothing because there will be nothing you can do. If you are a defender of Google you are basically arguing for monopoly and that’s an argument that only a fool would defend, if you argue against Google then remember please, forget this update and that update or whatever, you only basically need to say one word and that is MONOPOLY and anyone with any sense will have already seen you have won the argument. A monopoly will never give up until they have the whole market by the short and curly's and totally and utterly dependent on their product and using it in the way they want you to and paying what they want you to pay in every conceivable way and once they have that they will do anything to maintain their position. Do you really want anybody to have this kind of control over us all in the hope they will always be a good master.

I am sorry if you have heard it said many times before but judging by the fact that nothing seems anywhere close to even starting to change and most people don’t even seem to care in the first place then it seems that it obviously needs to start been said a bit more, until enough people have a loud enough voice for something to be done about it, heck aren’t there commissions that are meant to do something about this sort of thing, I mean look at the hassle they were giving Bill Gates a few years back over the antitrust thing or whatever and that was nothing compared to this, he didn’t control virtually the whole of the market place that most modern businesses of any significance has to have a presence in just to survive, what on earths going on? Personally I am not that bothered from my own perspective as the particular business model I am now pursuing isn’t that reliant on it and as many people here point out anyone with any sense these days will try and avoid one that is, but the fact of the matter is there are so many who whether they like it or not are dependent on Google and simply can’t afford to not care, all this talk of how nobody should be bothered about the biggest way in which most websites in the world get their traffic I mean come on please, let’s live in the real world, the situation at present matters and drastically needs to change!

I probably won’t be arguing back with anyone who disagrees with what I have said because I really can’t be bothered, like I say my argument is pretty simple and anyone who can’t see it then there’s probably nothing I can say to make them do so. Anyway that’s it really, it’s been building up inside me for a while now and I just had to say it, listen if you want to and don’t if you don’t, but please at least have a think if it’s a situation you truly want for us all.

All the best,
