Clang, clang clang! The warning bells are going off.
I can report that Google has finally contacted me, although it's probably too late for us- we already are in negotiations with other vendors. but regardless, it seems I'm not alone in my thoughts about the potential stumbling of Google. Digg is announcing that they are
breaking away from Google as well.
Of course, I really don't want to seem like I'm hoping for the demise of Google, and Google is big enough now, and it's hard to sink a big ship - meaning big companies usually have the reserves to last when they hit bumps in the road. And Google is still my home page by default, becoming so after Yahoo! introduced some sort of confused design.
