Is it okay to be scared now? There's a new Google app that's set to be unleashed soon. Google Base? "Google Base is Google's database into which you can add all types of content. We'll host your content and make it searchable online for free." This is either really good, or really bad - depending on how you look at it. As a Google shareholder, I'm sure this is good news (now your company is worth more than God). But my spidey senses are tingling. The very thing we feared Microsoft would try to do with the Internet, Google is doing. Do you understand what's happening - truly?
We're potentially giving the Internet to Google, people. With great power comes great responsibility. I just hope that someone does not set us up the bomb.
