Now I can access my mail(gmail, yahoo, and all POP mails), chat via meebo, read all the tech news, maintain calendars, have tabs all on a webpage.. this ‘desktop on web’ thing really rocks. I got rid of all my korganizer, kmail, knotes stuff and put it all on web. And after seeing netvibes my belief that  Google is nothing great and all hype is getting more and more strong. The latest acquistion of Neven-Vision says it very clear : we cant do it, so buy off someone who is capable of that. I saw this happening so many times.. and the talk of innovation?.. gimme a break.. whats new about gmail( no giving more space aint innovation), gtalk(skype was already there, hype made it a hit), blogger(its acquired), homepage(see netvibes), calender (kiko was there much earlier), reader (aggregators is no new concept).. To me, hype seems to be at the core everything gets so much just bcoz its from Google.. and of late the business strategies start resembling those of M$’s. These days my opinion about Google swings between extremes.. I look at design documents of GoogleFS and think here is a company which revolutionised search… and then look at other things, see how lacklustre products become hits because its from Google while many superior ones (from lesser known startups) remain in shadows and feel like shouting ‘Its not FAIR’.. and then enlightenment!! damn it.. who am I kidding.
