This kind of press fearing google was kinda unheard of in the beginning of the year. Now, it's kinda popping up everywhere I read. It is either that my world is small, or that consensus loving Google has really swung into a transition to hating Google. If Microsoft is not feared by startups, then someone else has to take its place. What easier than to point at the next biggest company?

The truth is probably a little mix of both other companies and industries fearing power, and Google growing too big too fast to turn into what Microsoft had turned into in the 90's.

It's strange to think that things change so much in two years. I'm excited over the next rise in five years. Which new market will it be? One right under our noses? Or one from out of the blue? It's time to stop focusing on "top 10 tips to succeed", and start looking for what sucks out there, what can be done better, what new things are bubbling in the undertows of the tech world.
