The reason I am certain of this is they are infuriating their customers. Not users of search, but Adwords advertisers. No business in the history of capitalism can survive infuriating their customers. Google has failed to deliver value in the Adwords model. Dollars follow value, simple as that. I would also point out that google fits every definition of a cult. Get the check list out and compare. I liken google to every evil empire that has fallen and once this titanic search engine company hits its inevitable iceberg, I personally will p1ss on their grave. Google will fail.

Personally, I’ve been a fan of Google for a while, but I’m slowly starting to rethink my decisions. This quote pretty much sums what I was thinking earlier: "Many people have slammed Microsoft for years for unfair business practices, but what about Google? How is this any different." The reason we still use GMail, YouTube and the lot is because they're simply great services - I much prefer the Gmail interface to the Yahoo/Hotmail but if Google carries on I think it's only going to be a matter of time before the biggest of us 'little people' start fighting back. Nice post! Really like the article. Personally, I’ve been a fan of Google for a while, but I’m slowly starting to rethink my decisions.
