"What are Google's core businesses?
Until this week, that answer was singular: search. But four days after taking over as CEO, Larry Page unleashed a management shakeup that puts several of Google's other product lines on par with its dominant one."Could be like the "post-Jobs" Apple all over again.

seems to me that google has ignored search in favor of just about everything the past few years.
Wave/Dark Fiber/Android/Maps/Docs/Books/AP... Browser/Chrome OS/Youtube/Picassa/Sketchup/Etc.maybe they ought to focus /more/ on search.
- Their core biz is and always has been, information gathering. Their mission is to index ALL information.zarkonite

my biggest google worry is excess personalization leading to everyone seeing only what some algorithms isolate them into seeing... living in a bubble based on their previous clicks....

- not really.. that would be a valid concern if it was only based on the sites you visit. That's why they introduced +1. The more system learns about your likes/dislikes the more it will give results you are interested in and i think that's great.. isolating noise to only what's relevant to you.Boz
