392 Googles But What About Search?
According to this list, the vastness and variety of the Goog’s operations since two Stanford students formed a private company 11 years ago is nothing short of jaw-droppingly impressive. Not content with being the most visited site on earth and dominating the online advertising market to the tune of tens of billions, the company has branched into hundreds of directions, offering free products and services to the hundreds of millions of people who visit every day, several times a day.
Some of it is rather impressive.

Good points well made (where on earth did you find that spreadsheet?), especially wrt analysing 39m obama results. I remember reading once that Sergey has said their utterly ultimate aim would be to give you ONE result from a search: the result you were really after. But how does that equate with search advertising? How about this: http://www.revenews.com/adamviener/the-google-affiliate/
Interesting read.. always up for discussion at the minute about how Google are turning into the new microsoft. For the first time last week I saw billboard adverts for Google Chrome, before then I had never seen Google pump money into advertising something on a broad scale.
