they have so much dirt on everyone, lol they track everything. i dont think they will be beat. the internet is full of onsies ebay pp google craigslist etc
Google is only a part of the traffic that is around the internet....not sure but I think its about 30% of the total volume.... If you consider that Facebook and Youtube are growing in leaps and bounds (and combined probably serve more traffic than Google) I'd be more concerned if they collapsed. Google is great.......but there is plenty of traffic elsewhere Chris
Then we will start using BING... Of course, BINGO No seriously, this could have devastating effects... Can you imagine the millions of gmail users who rely on their email (gmail) for business?
If google goes down, which i highly doubt will happen, cause they will just improve and improve, i guess yahoo would take over.
You never ever rely on just one supplier or service provider,its called never having all your eggs in one basket if it ever was to go under the chances are very slim i would still be able to sleep at night as i have spread the risk around.
The internet would go into a state of frenzy, like when a mob goes out of control and starts looting and causing violence.
Google will never just "out of the blue" collapse. If they lose their throne, it will be over the span of a long time. It will be so subtle that you won't really see the transition. No need for Y2K-Style paranoia, they're too powerful and still growing to this day.
If google collapses it will be the end of the internet era. At leas for a while until other search engines will grow bigger.
If Google collapses, so would the current "world" by then. Total lawlessness and anarchy......Maybe the internet would be shut down by then too. The economy would have crashed again. You think that is impossible? Nothing is impossible these days, anything can happen.
