Interesting. Need to read the blog post.

— I am not sure this has anything to do with yahoo versus google – not what I was talking about. I was more discussing the issues that arises as Google grows and decides to compete in a spot they once allowed partners to compete in.

Obviously they also feel weird about this or their guy would not have authored a “Open will win” manifesto.

I don't have the answers here but I do feel strongly that Google might have to realize that some people won't feel that they are doing good with some of their moves as of late.

A very good example is how Google keeps mocking or laughing at the very idea of privacy:

“On the Web, the new form of commerce is the exchange of personal information for something of value. This is a transaction that millions of us participate in every day, and it has potentially great benefits. An auto insurer could monitor a customer's driving habits in real time and give a discount for good driving–or charge a premium for speeding–powered by information (GPS tracking) that wasn't available only a few years ago,” Rosenberg wrote.

It's safe to say that a sizable contingent of people do not share his belief that allowing real-time tracking of your movements by private companies–especially ones who sell a product that almost all U.S. residents who drive a car are legally obligated to purchase–is a good idea.
