[p2p-research] Google to tear down social networking walls

[Athina Karatzogianni]

Hi Michel,

I think the key words here are in the last sentence of the article
"And, yes, it is good for Google. When the web is healthy, and more people
have more ways to be engaged online, our business is healthy."
'our business is healthy' seems is the driving force behind a lot of
supposed 'revolutionary' developments in technology, and there is nothing
wrong with at, as long as it is recognised as such so we dont live under
any illusions.

just a thought. sorry i am in a grumpy mood
