Apples next - jonathanex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Key words: 'may be'.
- grat2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just give Rev3 it's 100 million and be done with it!

That's what I was thinking ;D - MellerTime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jonathanex: "He and Alex seem to be leading a hate Google bandwagon."
Pfft.. what better reason to buy them out? Nothing spelles L-O-V-E like $30 mil in cold hard cash!
But seriously though. Who didn't see Google Marks (Marx?) BETA coming? If nothing else, Yahoo! buying del.icio.us should have spelled it out for you. Still, I think this is something Google could probably do quite well at (particularly given the existence of their Toolbar already). Take del.icio.us functionality and mix in a little Google style and you've got a quality product.
Then again, this could end up being like Google Talk... Ugh. - Robotsu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0N3wtR0ckn13 says:
"forget social bookmarks...enough already. how bout a single center sign on that's similar ms passport. i hate having to remember all this psswd's for various sites. gosh idiot."
Well I kind of agree, but I think that's what Google is ultimate in the process of doing. Each time they provide another centralized service, it's usually available when you log into your "Google Account", which has the same password every time.
I'm sure as they add more services, some people may use that very argument for staying only with Google. I would think this might apply well to non-net-savy folks who don't know anything other than Google, but not exclusively. - rocjoe71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Won't work, shouldn't try it. Google's sites, while technically excellent (most of the time) lack personality, sense of community and all the rest of the good things that social-type websites have. Google making a social bookmarking site would have the same draw as Coca-Cola making replacement ink cartridges. You can't just slap the brand on something and expect it to sell, the brand already means something and its better to stick within the brand's idiom.
- dracula7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this is lame and old news
- GreenSlabOfClay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I thought they were flirting with ... well...everything.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I love Google but it's just not as sexy a company as what Yahoo! has become in the last year or so.

one word: Gmail. best online email on the web. also, personalized page. its my homepage and i like it much more than yahoo's or msn's. clean fast simple and its incredibly easy and quick to get the info you want on one page. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They're starting to become the walmart of websites. They need to concentrate on filling voids, not overtaking independent developers. They have infinitely more resources... they need to put them to good use developing stuff that independent developers cannot, such as google maps or the national archives project.
- RBOnline, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What the hell? I submitted this last week?

What's more, with the addition of logged chats in google talk, and federation, it's definitely my preferred chat client. Naysayers all seem to be 13 year olds who can't talk without emoticons. - jdavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree, that google is diluting thier name, but they have to they are tooo big now to do just search. I give them 2 more years on this engine until someone else has a chance, i saw it with alta vista.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, I hope it's better than that half-assed effort they put into their personalized pages (the my.yahoo killer/clone? LOL), but I doubt it. It'll just have google brand name going for it, like anything else it does.
- urbanrant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jonathanex (1) - Eventually Google buys everybody. (My theory anyway)
- giga1220, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hummm... sounds del.icio.us to me...
NO DIGG. ABSOLUTELY. - Enoch9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Some guys just don't get it: there's no company that can do everything well. Google search being no.1 doesn't mean it can take over the world. Google frenetics: be realistic, it's just a company.
- jonathanex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0urbanrant - Haven't you listened to diggnation recently? He and Alex seem to be leading a hate Google bandwagon.
- fu_fish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is something I've expected from Google for years. It links in with their data well and is potentially very valuable data. I can't believe they haven't already started w/ social bookmarking.
- illegal_op, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1google will eventually offer everything...it's inevitable
