    i don't think even 165M will be enough to kill google. anyway the project is on development, so we won't see it any time soon.

    My thought is this. Google have been in the search engine business from the beginning.

    They already employ the best people.

    On the money front. If Google don't have it they can simply raise it by selling shares.

    It will take something real special to rock Google's boat!

    One of the things that made Google successful was using US media and Hollywood, both as free publicity tool and embedded advertisement. Something that is unique for the US and has also worked for Apple and YouTube.

    Google won't be killed, yet it might kill itself and make room for competition in a new area. The same thing that happend to Microsoft.

    If there are Google killers, then they will be local and country based or niche based. But Google will probably buy them before they get too big.

    I think the stupidest thing is to sell anything to google.com, look how much youtube.com is worth for example.

    Why do europeans insist on making long domain names with -'s in them?

    Google probably doesn't even need their search engine to be prosperous. As mentioned, they own youtube, and I think a few other popular sites.

    But its very hard to get people to change. I kept seeing those Ask.com commercials about how the guy got what he was looking for, so I went to ask, looked for one of my sites, and couldn't find it :( I didn't get what I was looking for :(
