Googalization.....

Googling or Google - The verb to google (also spelled to Google) refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web. A neologism arising from the popularity and dominance^[1] of the eponymous search engine, the American Dialect Society chose it as the "most useful word of 2002."


For a fact I know 99% of the techies out there use Google Search engine... Also another fact is most techies wish if they work in Google.. This morning I had a chat with one my of buddies from home.. He and his colleagues were checking out Google campus photos.. As always wondering wheels in my mind started spinning.

Let's just see how much we are dependent on Google.. Another annoying thing is when ever I type Google in simple letters, firefox says I'm making a spelling mistakes, thats shows how far google ooopss I mean Google has gone... ok back to the main topic.. So below is my list..

1. I use a gmail account as my main email address
2. I use blogspot as my blogger
3. I use Google adwords
4. I use Google search engine to search "things" on Internet
5. I use Google news to see whats going on, in our little messed up world
6. I use YouTube to watch all the free videos form sane to insane
7. I use Google gadgets in my Ubuntu desktop
8. I use Google Maps to find my way
9. I use Google Books to quickly refer chapters
10. I use Google notes to keep tabs of my work and reminders
11. Soo its always Google this and Google that....

So thats my list... I hope you'll spare a minute think about your list..

The recent court order against Google kind of freaked me out.. Google KNOWS everything you do in the Internet.. It keeps track of all the searches you have done.. all the videos you have seen... all your emails.. all your blogs thats published, un-published, deleted... etc etc etc etc etc..... and the list goes on buddy...

Anyway Its still early and Google is still growing and consuming.. So far Google is the solution for everything and good news is Google is on the good side..

Sometimes the rate that Google exploit, enter, acquire, open and invent new things freaks me out... Since I'm a pessimist by nature, I like to concentrate on the worst case scenario.. what IF Google turn out to be the bad guy.... ? Nature always balance things out... well in Matrix, It crated the Agent Smith to balance out Neo.. So who will balance out Google.. Will it be Yahoo or MSN ? I doubt it and I haven't seen anyone who is capable to challenge Google's supremacy yet..

So I really wonder, whether I should be more worried about Globalization or Googalization .......?
