Has Google reached the tipping point?

  2007-01-02 20:00:02
Once upon a time, Google was a small start-up run by a couple of bright graduate students and everybody loved it. Now it's a hugely-profitable multinational corporation run by three multi-billionaires, it has a monopoly market share of the search market, and almost life-or-death power over thousands of small companies -- a power it exercises in secret, with no accountability, in what some would regard as an arrogant and autocratic way. Google may still be loved, but it is also feared. Really really feared.
