Yes I do agree that Yahoo comitted suicide. It’s Yahoo is a swimmer in the ocean and grabs a weed for help, but little does it no that the weed will pull it to the ocean floor and it’s demise. Bing at 8% of the search engine world was no competition with Google, it never has been, I personally think Bing and all of MSN ( sorry, Windows Live ) has always been a joke. Nobody uses it, when was the last time you heard someone say “Bing it!” instead of “Google it!”. If my 70 year old minister says “Googled” in reference to the search engine giant, I believe that shows just how powerful it is.

To add to Bings tiny 8% it adds the respectable Yahoo, which is approximatley 20% of the search world. I respect Yahoo, they have a few nice products such as Pipes, Flickr, and Mail though I only use the first two. It’s search is respectable and is my second favorite.  So Yahoo takes its 20% share, more than twice Bings and gives it all to Bing. Yahoo shall become Bing. Since when has the weak ruled the strong? This “agreement” I believe is one sided, yes Bing shall grow a little bit but it will never come out at 28%. If Yahoo had added Bing, the tables would have been completley different.

Google, I think this just makes your job easier, two birds, one stone. And as an added bonus  the birds are weaker now.

Google vs. Apple

While not a competition I do see a little battle here after Apple has rejected Google products like Latitude and Voice. Saying there features are too much like the standard iPhone features. Most people believe this is due to the pressure from behind, nasty AT&T. Anyways this is not a fair deal to reject premium grade software after they have spent a long time working on it, I have browsed the iTunes App Store and to say the least it is amazing how much crap they let on there and too not let well built, rich apps like Latitude and Voice is stupid. Google you should be ticked off.

Google vs. Microsoft

More of a sidenote but I find Microsoft Azure very amazing and remarkably related to Google App Engine. Azure, featuring Azure SQL, ASP and .NET programming is worthless for their intended audience. Anyone who uses Microsoft programming languages like ASP and .NET has no use for cheap/free cloud services as they obviously have plenty of corporate money. Google App Engine though, it more opensource, more developer accepted and not centered around Google, but around the target audience.

I’m expecting Microsoft Typhoon any day now.

Google you have my support in every way. Good luck, I know you shall come through.

My Google Wave Inbox

My inbox is full off all the developer group conversations and I tweeted with this twitter api . I am looking forward to possibly making an app. I  saw they have no wave to RSS thing, so that would be a nice thing to have, to follow a big colabrative wave or that could be an odd sort of joint blog?? Anyways cool! More coming tommorow

As they say in the Lion King, “Be Prepared!” ( you know, the song! Scar sings. ). Anyways, I just watched the whole 1 and 1/2 hour demo. Dang it’s looking good. Basically they take the whole web mash it into their website and open source it. It is email to the 10th dimension. It can be sent between two servers, A and B. It has all the same functionality between A and A as A and B. It is Internet 2.0. It will quickly kill many things, it is very similar to Facebook except bigger, and more flexible.

The thing I am most surprised about is the Open Source! They want to model it after E-mail, it was open sourced and it became the standard for 40 years, until Waves came. If you thought G-Mail was superb ( as I did ) then this will boggle your mind. Watch at least part of it, it is flexible, exstendable and futuristic. It is everything it is SVN, Office, Solitare, Youtube, Flickr, Facebook, Hotmail all in one open sourced and on a clean website. I just hope that people don’t see Wave as a geeky weird thing and deem it as too hard, I hope the read into it and switch. Think of the possibilities in a work place, in any place.

If there is one futuristic company out there, it’s Google. Microsoft is old and corrupt, Apple too small and too weak, Yahoo is not inventive. Google is futuristic, youthful, powerful, large, and intuitive. Boys and girls, I don’t want to work at a old, small, or not inventive company, I want to work at Google and be the future.

I signed up at wave.google.com to help, I asked them to let me on to build some project for them, I am thinking eithier a interaction between like FlickR or something where the photos you shared could also be added to FlickR or something, and I would also like to Wave my site and be riding the wave of the future.

Another point I found really interesting was that they programmed it all in Java and had had Google Web Toolkit convert it. Interesting. HTML 5 is also interesting that they would use something that far into the future. Well I guess if Wave is going into the future so should what its built on. Cool.
