google.pngI was reading the last blog entry form the Official Google Blog and was a little bit supprised what google is plaing now. They are trying to provide some knowledge base where user can contribute content and discuss it. I think this concept is not new and nearly eveyone knows a site wikipedia that tries to solfe this problem alrady and does it very well in my oppinion.
Google was growing very fast in the last decade and where they invest there is nearly no space for any competitor. Take Google Analytics as an example. Until now Google alway says don’t be evil and as far as we can see it they aren’t. Never the less this situation can change easily in the future. Exactly this situation is discussed very loudly in the community. Going into a direct competition with wikipedia isn’t a very good idea in my oppinion. Several people believe in the project and i would say love it. Just evil person try to “destroy” someone you love.

I was a big fan of google and it’s projects/services never the less I’m also sceptical about using some services. For example I never used Gmail as my primary mail system or Checkout the not so much known payment system they offer. I think they should not know everything about me. On the other hand i use the search history, analytics and several other services.
